The code in and of itself is not that useful in this case. It is more an example of a good sized system that uses OSGi but isolates itself from OSGi via DI and DS.

I'd be happy to talk about particular scenarios etc and point to relevant places in the code.

For example, in the Toast example (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Toast) for the OSGi book (http://equinoxosgi.org) we used a interface that provides the things needed.  We provided service backed and extension backed implementations.  Much nicer.
