Description

I think that Tuscany users and application developers should not have to worry about which Tuscany JARs they are using. I've described what I'd like to see as a user on the tuscany-dev list there: http://marc.info/?l=tuscany-dev&m=121311590032485

Eclipse Equinox provides a good way to achieve that (detect and track extensions of a runtime core) in an OSGi environment. I'd like to use it as an option of our current extension discovery mechanism (currently based on META-INF/services declarations).
