Enrique, 

The startup.jar code is intended to
configure an OSGi framework by calling a class called EclipseStarter.  This
class initialized the framework, installs the bundles listed on the osgi.bundles
list and then attempts to run an "application".  This structure
is not "standard" because OSGi doesn't say anytihng about how
OSGi systems boot or run, just how bundles interact.  thoughts/questions:

- in M6 we are improving the ability
to use the Eclipse OSGi standalone.  This includes packaging it as
one jar and including a main() that just runs OSGi and a console.  I
suspect this is not quite what you want but is worth stating anyway :-)

- how do you automatically install bundles
on other OSGi implementations?

- I'm assuming that since you run your
stuff on other OSGi implementations that you do the work of your application/system
in the start() method(s) of some bundles.  If so, why do you want
to use startup.jar?  

- Are you considering changing to use
applications?  If so, lok at how some existing applications are structured.
 Pretty easy, just implement an IPlatformRunnable and contribute an
application extension (see org.eclipse.ui.ide for an example).  Then
you list the application id in the config.ini's eclipse.application property.

I have a bunch of plain-old OSGi bundles that work fine with the Oscar
and Eclipse OSGi containers.  I am in the process of moving from the
manual install of bundles on the console prompt to something I can ship
with an installer.

I only really need the OSGi runtime, but I am trying to determine what
I 
can reuse from the startup.jar and config.ini infrastructure.  My
problem is that as soon as I mess with the 'osgi.bundles' setting, I 
start to generate a variety of exceptions related to improper setting of
the eclipse.product and probably other related settings.  Looks like
I 
need to generate or configure a 'product' or 'application'.  I attached
an error, below.

I asked about the location of the EclipseStarter and Main so I could dig
into how the Eclipse infrastructure above the OSGi runtime works.
