Starting Equinox from within a running JVM [message #119905]

Is it possible to start up an "instance" of Equinox from within a running
JVM? The scenario is that we have a set of OSGi plugins that we want to be
able to run (and communicate with) within the context of another running
Java application. My understanding is that we would have to enable the
running Java application to run within OSGi. Is that true?

I apologize if this is not the appropriate forum for this question too.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

you may have a look at the Equinox serverside site. Running an OSGi
application in a servlet engine, also needs to strat an instance of
Equinox in a running JVM. You can look at this site for more details:
http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/http_in_container.php
Maybe the source of the Servletbridge helps you.
