Can an equninox app be launched in Java Web Start? [message #86343]

I found some docs on launching SWT apps, but it's not clear that the
example is for an actual OSGi runtime.

I found some other postings on this issue but no responses.

I know JNLP file generation is supported by the PDE Headless build, but
just setting the properties doesn't seem to cause it to be packaged.

I can see how you could get JWS to launch the main launcher class for
Equinox, but I can't imagine how it would be able to resolve bundles
without a plugins directory. Maybe there are some additional osgi
properties to provide?

Any references someone can point me to?

Starting osgi from JWS is fully supported by equinox. This is used on a
regular basis by all the people deploying RCP applications with JWS. You can
find more details about it at
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/java_web_start.htm
Note that this is the doc for 3.2 and it has not yet been upgraded to
reflect the move of startup.jar into
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_<version>.jar.
If you have more specific problems please post here.
