There are several options: - Pax Runner if you want to run an OSGi framework with a configurable set of bundles, but don't need to update them once the framework is running. - Apache Felix File Install, also used in Apache Karaf, to deploy a configurable set of bundles and configuration data based on a folder. Changes you make to the folder are "hot deployed". - Apache Felix OBR Shell, which can be used to install bundles and their dependencies based on a (remote) bundle repository. - Apache ACE, a software provisioning server that allows you to manage many targets and install and update bundles and configuration data to them automatically. I'm sure I've missed some (outside of Apache).
