Hi,
this question might have already appeared, but I found no matching thread.
What is the difference between a simple Bundle and a Management Bundle
and how can I create a Management Bundle?
Management Bundles occured several times in the OSGi-Specs (I need one
to access the PermissionAdmin-Service), but I never figured out how to
create one.
Thanks for answering,
Holger
PS: anyone knows a good OSGi-Tutorial or Wiki?

Thank you Tom,
the reason I was asking is that in several parts of the documentation
there are references to Management Bundles in the form of "only a
Management Bundle can do that...". Therefor I assumend that there should
be a little more about it.
Happy Day,
Holger
