The bundle should just control the deployment controller context. If you want to create a kernel controller context for the bundle activator that's a different issue. e.g. in "PRE-REAL" you could create the context and make the deployment moving to REAL dependent on that "POJO". But somebody who knows OSGi may get a bit confused if they do Bundle.start() and it gives them an error saying I'm not doing it because the IOC injections onto the activator aren't satisfied. ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4130100#...
