Description
The approach for managing which bundles are automatically deployed when the framework starts is somewhat configuration intensive; i.e., you must always edit the configuration properties. It seems we could simplify this process by treating the 'bundle' directory as an auto-deploy directory, where its contained bundles are installed and started when the framework is started. With this approach, the user does not need to edit the configuration file to add or remove bundles from framework startup, he or she simply needs to add or remove bundles from the bundle directory.
This is similar to how File Install works, but it is not a run-time mechanism like File Install, it is only at startup time. Originally, I had thought about actually using File Install, but I think it is too complicated for the launcher, especially with respect to threading.
