Hi Emmanuel, It's the order of dependencies and the specification of the start level that's the issue, right? It should not really be needed to start bundles in a certain order, but there a number of dependencies of DOSGi that need to be started in a specific order to work properly. This is caused by the fact that these libraries are not developed with OSGi in mind and make certain assumptions about their environment :(
You can also control the start level from another bundle, through the StartLevel service [1], so you could write a little bundle that sets the start level for the applicable bundle correctly before starting them up which would alleviate the need to change anything in a config file... On the other hand you might find it easier to us a modified version of the single-bundle distro. I don't fully remember all the details of why it's configured the way it is, but if you want you can either create an alternative single-bundle distro by for your own use based on the pom.xml that is used by DOSGi [2] or you might want to provide a patch to DOSGi that works for you and I am then happy to look at if we can take that into the DOSGi code base... See also the build pages for more info [3].
