Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-9424:
------------------------------------

For your information, you can deploy the helloworld-osgi app from JBoss Tools
You need :
- Eclipse Indigo Java EE
- m2e, available from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
- JBoss Archive Tools and JBossAS Tools, from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/
- m2eclipse-tycho from the m2e marketplace (Window > Preferences > Maven > Discovery > Open catalog)

You need to :
- create a JBoss AS 7 server
- import helloworld-osgi (from https://github.com/jbossas/quickstart/tree/master/helloworld-osgi) as a Maven Project in Eclipse
- open the Project Archive View (Window > show view > other ...)
- select the helloworld-osgi project
- in the project archive view, right click on helloworld-osgi > New Archive > Jar
- change the destination to /jboss-as-helloworld-osgi/target (to avoid polluting your source code)
- choose exploded archive if you want
- click finish
- A Project archives node appears in the Project Explorer view, having a jboss-as-helloworld-osgi.jar node
- right click on the jboss-as-helloworld-osgi.jar node (either in the Project Explorer or Project archives view), choose New Fileset
- In the root directory input, enter target/classes (or select that folder via the Workspace button)
- click finish
- right click on the jboss-as-helloworld-osgi.jar node (either in the Project Explorer or Project archives view), Publish to server
- select the AS7 instance, choose Always Publish and Autodeploy
- In you servers view, start your AS7 instance
- See how your bundle writes to the console.

And for the sweet part :
- add a break point in your code
- start AS7 in debug mode
- once the thread hits your break point, change some code in your method (add/change a out.writeln(...))
- See how it hot reloads your code \o/

> 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.
