One of the attractions that I have to OSGi is the concept that you do
not have to restart an application if you want to modify it. I have
done this while playing with OSGi. However, if Eclipse is based on
OSGi, then why does it require a reboot when you add a new plugin / bundle?
Thanks

It doesn't need it; there's an "apply changes" that you can do to install it dynamically. However, historically (i.e. before 3.0) it's not been possible to do that. Some plugins also don't work because they're not set up to be dynamic; the 'New' wizard was one of them IIRC.
Summary: it can work, it just doesn't always. That's why they still have the 'restart', and it's the default. YMMV.
