I use the term feature in a conceptual sense. We do not have eclipse 
features. We are running many plain OSGi bundles in Knopflerfish, so I 
assume I need to create a cspec for my "feature"

I would love to use Spring DM or Guice but we are running on resource 
restricted devices on J9 (jre 1.3 API with 1.4 bytecode). We have 
written an extension of ServiceTracker that provides a proxy to a 
service and so in most cases we manage to de-couple our code from OSGi, 
except in the Activator where we wire things up directly
