I think that the problem is just that you need to run these tests via 
the Eclipse 'JUnit Plugin-Test' from the Run/Debug rather than the plain 
'ol 'JUnit Test'.  This just runs the JUnit tests with a different 
(eclipse runtime) context.

The reason for this is that the JUnit Plugin-Test creates a whole new 
workspace, and initializes all the plugins in that workspace.  The ECF 
SharedObjectContainerFactory is initialized by the OSGI plugin loading 
process (since other plugins implement the containerFactory extension 
point), and so it doesn't get initialized when run as a simple JUnit test.

If this doesn't help please let all know.

Scott
