You are right that the OSGi launch configuration doesn't force you to do things, but it does help in some regard. By clicking the 'Add Required Bundles' it figures out (by walking Import-Package, Require-Bundle and Fragment-Host headers) what other bundles could be included to satisfy bundle dependencies and selects them for you. 
Another useful aspect here is the ability to specify start levels and whether a bundle should be started at all.

However I agree that this is a larger piece of work and should probably be tracked in another bug :)

> AS7 supports OSGi bundles as deployments, and Eclipse supports the creation of OSGi bundles through the built-in PDE tooling (see [1] for an example). However, OSGi bundles developed with Eclipse PDE can't be deployed via the JBDS to AS7 yet. 
> Support for deploying OSGi bundles to AS7 should be added to the JBoss Tooling.
