Felix and Equinox both implement the OSGi R4 service platform. In theory, you should be able to deploy a bundle to either Felix or Equinox. (In practice we should test on both and probably Knopflerfish [1] as well.) Equinox also provides some optional bundles to allow adopters to make use of the Eclipse plug-in registry.
AFAIK, Axis2 does not provide any OSGi bundles. Axis2 has a number of dependencies, including Woden. I think we should start by driving as many of these dependencies as possible to provide OSGi bundles. (Others include Apache WS commons projects XmlSchema and Axiom.) This should make it easier to provide Axis2 as a bundle. FWIW, I have seen a few different projects that expose Axis2 via an OSGi bundle.

Does Axis2 provide OSGi bundles? Thx.

Although we have more pressing work for M8 I wanted to capture what I'd been thinking so we can get community feedback and look at integrating Woden into OSGi and Eclipse. I've created two proposals on the wiki. Please take a look when you have some time.
