and complex, but it is surprisingly simple when you
try it
out because it feels very natural in an OSGi environment. Programming models
like Spring DM, iPOJO, DS, etc. can further help to support this model while
not showing up in any Java code.

The project is called bnd (pronounce b and d). The jar can be used as an ant
task, command utility, eclipse plugin, and library

We tried awfully hard to be not intrusive :-(

Unfortunately there are tens of thousands of plugin writers out there that
are not aware of the dynamics. Eclipse migrated to OSGi 4 years
The way the dynamics work in OSGi is only partly classloading. In the HTTP
examples, we have defined an HttpService where you register a servlet. When
a bundle (OSGi JAR) is started, it registers a servlet with the http
service. When it is stopped, the Http Service detects this and removes the
