I think that the difference between java sources and other content is that, unless you use an agent such as JRebel, a java class change leads to a full deploy of the bundle, which is likely not instantaneous. One was I can possibly see this working is: - teach Felix to load exploded bundles ( if it doesn't already know ) - map the bundle's target directory to a '..../install' directory in the repository using your FS Resourceprovider idea - have the bundles reloaded using the JCR installer whenever the install location receives changes There are a lot of details to take care of though. The work done for the Felix SCR plugin means that you should get a full bundle structure in Eclipse ( SCR / Metatype XML files, complete manifest ) but I'm not sure about IntelliJ, where you probably need to manually 'Make' the module.
