Minor Description
Many Apache projects (and other projects) are beginning to make packages that play nice with OSGi containers. The OSGi compendium http://www.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage defines some constraints on how bundles should be packaged. For instance, service loading is not allowed in OSGi and packages shouldn't be split over different jars/bundles. It would be extremely useful if we could provide a ready-to-go bundle with solid documentation on how to deploy it.
Another notable feature would be to build a karaf-friendly features file where a user could more easily load in the required dependencies. Integrating the "accumulo" commands into the karaf client shell would be another good possiblity.
