Achieving Eclipse-like OSGi launcher

I am building an OSGi application and need to create an Eclipse-like OSGi application launcher.

For those who do not know, when an OSGi application is run through Eclipse's OSGi framework, Equinox launches and automatically 开发者_高级运维manages the order of bundles being started and stopped. From what I have experienced so far, it seems to be very efficient in what it does.

I want a similar piece of software to be able to create powerful distributable OSGi applications that can take a dynamic group of bundles, and without rewriting any code, start the application correctly and in the right bundle order.

I am curious to know how Eclipse achieves this result efficiently and how I can achieve the same result.

Thank you,

Steve

You have two options:
1) use pax runner
2) Use eclipse bundle witch serves as starter ( i believe it's org.eclipse.equinox.launcher)

Edit:
1*)For equinox options starter see this link paragraph Configurations and all that... BTW I've been wrong it's not launcher bundle it's common and update bundles.
2*)Fox pax runner example see this screen cast
