Yep - we have it working fine, albeit we use a very "thin" webstart layer which is really just a custom launcher.

The launcher loads the usual OSGi properties via URL, which amongst other things then installs and starts the various bundles, whose location are also specified via URLs in the auto.installl an auto.start properties.

So in truth - it's only really the launcher that actually gets loaded via webstart, the rest of the application loading is done via OSGi - which in our case is exactly what we wanted.

We found we needed to sign all of our JARs to make the process work, to meet WebStart security policy which gets inherited by the VM OSGi runs in

Has anyone been able to get OSGI working with java Web Start? Or is there a 
different recommendation for intial deployment for Swing-OSGI. Seems like OSGI 
is good for after you deploy but not the model for initial deployment for java 
apps. Web Start handles jnlp initial deployment of the java jvm where as OSGI 
doe not but does do the updates like Web Start does already. I am looking for a 
more complete solution and it seems OSGI is not quite the complete solution but 
I am very open to constructive suggestions on how to achieve that using OSGI 
and something else.
