Hi,
if you're using the Sling launchpad, then all the bundles are
installed by launchpad and not the OSGi installer.
We(=Adobe)'re using this configuration for the launchpad plugin instead:
<bundlesDirectory>install</bundlesDirectory>
<bootDirectory>bundles</bootDirectory>
Now only bundles marked as boot level bundles are installed by
launchpad, everything else is installed by the OSGi installer. Of
course this requires the OSGi installer and some other bundles to be
in the boot level. If you now put the file installer bundle there as
well and point it to a directory like Bertrand suggested, the OSGi
installer will get two bundles lists, one from the launchpad and one
from the file installer, merges it and installs the latest versions.
