Hi,
I thought you just wanted to easily create a Felix runtime for your OSGi
bundles?

Using osgi-run, this Gradle script will install 2 different versions of Guava
and run everything with Felix:
build.gradle
######################
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.athaydes.gradle.osgi:osgi-run-core:1.1"
}
}
repositories { mavenCentral() }
apply plugin: 'osgi-run'
dependencies { // some examples of bundles
osgiRuntime 'com.google.guava:guava:12.0'
osgiRuntime 'com.google.guava:guava:16.0'
}
########################
The bundles, specified by their artifact coordinates in "osgiRuntime", will be
downloaded from the repositories you configured (Maven or Ivy repos, local
files etc, see
http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html#sec:repositories)
and added to the OSGi environment. Notice you can have as many of the same
artifact with different versions as you want.
Sorry if I misunderstand you.
Regards,
Renato
