Remote tests: Make it possible to listen to remote framework events

             Project: JBoss OSGi
          Issue Type: Task

Sometimes you need to wait until something has happened on the remote side, for instance you want all packages refreshed and need to wait for that until you can proceed with a test.

This is currently not possible and it causes OSGi287TestCase.testResolvedOptionalImportReverse() to fail in the remote scenario which is caused by interaction with the other tests in that class. Most likely this could be fixed by being able to execute a remote PackageAdmin.refreshPackages() and wait for that. 

I think that a remote refresh packages for all bundles can be initiated like this:
{code}         OSGiBundle[] bundles = runtime.getBundles();
         long[] ids = new long[bundles.length];
         for (int i = 0; i < bundles.length; i++)
            ids[i] = bundles[i].getBundleId();

         FrameworkMBean fmb = runtime.getFrameworkMBean();
         fmb.refreshBundles(ids);{code}
but its not possible to wait for the PACKAGES_REFRESHED framework event so you never know when it will be finished.

I think a remote event callback API is probably not possible via JMX, but an alternative could be a polling API that allows the test to probe the events emitted.
