Description

Right now, there is no way to specify what the start level is for bundles that are found in the auto deploy directory as specified by "felix.auto.deploy.dir" in the felix configuration. By default, it seems that these bundles are always loaded first as compared to other bundles defined in config.properties using the "felix.auto.start.<level>" properties.

Since the shell bundles are in the bundle directory, it would be nice if one could specify that the shell bundles are loaded after the application bundles had been loaded, so the shell prompt would show up only then as well, indicating that system startup is complete.

Thus being able to specify a <level> which is related to the <level>s on the "felix.auto.start" property probably makes sense.
