David, You are right. I've just taken a look at the Activator code. I did not look at every jar, but only org.restlet.jar seems to have an Activator. It seems to scan bundles looking for CLIENTS, SERVERS or AUTHENTICATORS registering them as helpers as appropriate. ( I like the small classes and comment in Jerome's code. Readable!). So will try what you suggested: Load all bundles perhaps extensions earlier. Start framework and framework extensions Start Restlet Start my bundles And this should work! So I will proceed with that.
