I got the impression the client is OSGi agnostic.
So, I only implied that push "whatever" from the client to a bundle managing 
the OSGi framework, since such bundle is not OSGi agnostic. Nothing more was 
really implied.

Now, the funkier way to deal with a lot of this;

1. Stick all the logic that has been discussed here into the management 
bundle.

2. The management client is RCP based.

3. The management bundle can 'signal' what views/editors the RCP should 
install to manage the type of 'Installable'. Such view/editor can indeed use 
OSGi specific protocols and/or more specific info to the user.


Just a thought... ;o)
