Description

When the webconsole is used in an installation using subsystems, depending on the installed subsystem types, not all bundles or services are visible to the web console including the region bundles from subsystems.
While this might be desired in some situations, it makes the web console rather useless when subsystems are used as these are completely invisible to the administrator.
The best option would be to have a subsystem aware web console, but I fear this would be a long way to go. Therefore I think we should simply use the system bundle to get all bundles/services. And make this configurable.
