Bjorn, to me it seems like you lack a good introduction to OSGI. If so, I would recommend to read the free osgi book by "Neil Bartlett" (just google it). Though it is incomplete (at least it was the last time I checked), it still shows the basics and will give you an idea of how OSGi works. To me the book was very helpful when I first started out with felix - so maybe it will help you as well.
