Each bundle has its own private data area, it can save whatever it wants
in there.

The stop() method is called on the BundleActivator, the bundle can do
whatever it likes in there.

It will go through the normal life cycle methods. I.e. there is no magic
data stored, only fact that a bundle should be started when the
framework is started. The bundle will come alive in the INSTALLED state,
and then has to move to RESOLVED before it is started and becomes ACTIVE.

Yes, this is supported with the Bundle-Classpath manifest header that
contains a list of JAR files in the Bundle's JAR file. This is a very
useful feature that I wish was supported by normal Java.
> - Can a bundle contain bundles?
Yes. Installing a bundle is from a URL or InputStream, so installing a
bundle in a bundle is like context.installBundle(
getClass().getResource("bundle.jar").toString() ); This is used
extensively in the OSGi test suites.

The need never arose. Do you have a use case for it?

Yes, through the Bundle.getResource method.
Hope this helps, kind regards,
