Ok, that seems simple enough. So two questions then. One, can Felix
make a client application that's distributed with Webstart?
People have done this, but I don't have any experience with it
personally. Perhaps someone else can speak about this.
Two, what modules exist to be used, or do you have to write from
scratch? Of interest would be a network communication module.
There are a few within the Felix project, some of the various standard
bundles from the OSGi spec and also various bundle versions of some
popular open source packages. The bundle repository at:
http://www2.osgi.org/Repository/HomePage
Also lists many. At this point, though, you will likely have to do a bit
of work yourself still.

I have to say, I have no idea what Felix/OSGi is for. I've read the
site, and OSGi pages, but I still don't have a grasp of who, what
and when to use this type of system. Could someone point me to the
dummies guide to understanding OSGi?
Well, we don't have a dummies guide, unfortunately. The main gist is
that you can use OSGi to modularize your applications and/or make
them dynamically extensible.
The web site as an "example" application:
http://cwiki.apache.org/FELIX/apache-felix-application-demonstration.html
The docs here do not go into great detail, but it provides a fairly
good demonstration of how you can use OSGi technology to break an
application into modules and make it dynamically extensible.
