Hey all,

I have a large and complex Java app (call it the main app) that would like to use features from another large and complex Java app (call it the library app). The main app is a standard app written without knowledge of OSGi and the library app is OSGi-based. I have read some of the slideshows and tutorials and so on that you have online, and my impression is that there are some facilities for this. For example, http://felix.apache.org/site/presentations.data/felix-apachecon-20071114.pdf gives this bit of code:

// Define configuration properties
Map configMap = new StringMap(false);
configMap.put(..., ...);
...
// Create application activators
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add(new Activator());
try {
        // Create a framework instance
        Felix felix = new Felix(configMap, list);
        // Start framework instance
        felix.start();
        ...
        // Stop framework instance
        felix.stop();
} catch (Exception ex) { ... }

Ordinarily, my next step would be to look at the Javadocs for the Felix object to figure out what this all means. But I can't find the Javadocs for this project. I've looked through the site, I've googled, I've searched the mailing list a bit (hard to search, eg, by date), and I've downloaded the framework and run maven to the best of my knowledge (I'm not exactly a maven maven). Still no love. Am I missing something obvious? Can someone point me in the right direction?

More generally, other than possible code rework in my library app, what would be involved in larger task of using features that exist in an OSGi app in a non-OSGi app?

Thanks for your help,

        bjorn
