Reminder: the goal is to have it work in OSGi both via the Hibernate ORM integration and via the Infinispan Query integration. Brett Meyer I guess you know how Infinispan's OSGi approach looks like

How does the Infinispan OSGi integration look like? Non existent? Will they do something? Similar to ORM, I see Search more as an add-on which needs to play nice with whatever ORM or Infinispan provide. How does Infinispan Query bootstrap Search?

In that case though we don't have your nice testbed project.

Which test bed are you referring to? I am working on Karaf integration tests here - https://github.com/hferentschik/hibernate-search/commits/HSEARCH-1557, and I learn a lot from the ORM OSGi tutorials, still it is a different testbed based on PaxExam and Karaf.
