Yes, you can also refer to OSGi bundles. The syntax is as follows: deployment.<bsn>:<version>
So if you want to refer to a plugin with Bundle-SymbolicName 'my.test.bundle' and version 1.2 you'd use:
   deployment.my.test.bundle:1.2.0

They end up somewhere else. In the data/osgi-store/bundle-* directories of your current storage location. If you're running in standalone mode this directory structure exists under the 'standalone' directory.

This is probably better answered by David Lloyd, but I believe JBoss Modules would require a restart after an update.

Again, not totally my area of expertise, but I think this is possible.

A bundle that's inside a WAR? You mean in its web-inf/lib directory? In that case its not really a bundle but rather a jar file which is deployed as part of a war file so it won't have visibility outside of that WAR AFAIK...

Best regards,

David
