Hello!

I’m currently working on incorporating an project made using bndtools in another (larger) non-OSGi application and I was wondering how does the community recommend doing this. I need to be able to send/receive messages, updates, etc from the bundles,

The framework is Apache Felix.

Thank you very much!

Maisa
