Thanx. Looking forward to that. Till then I will take a deeper look at
the items available in equinox wiki and use this mailing list.

There are. The first I encounter, which is a show stopper for now, is
that p2 core requires bundle org.eclipse.equinox.common (requires
bundle really needed?) that imports packages exported by
org.eclipse.osgi. As this is main equinox bundle it will also export
the osgi packages and the problems starts :). But this was just a
first,short attempt to run it in felix/kf.
