Eclipse OSGi run configuration

Question

Is there any way to add OSGi Run configuration to Eclipse Indigo if there's no such section in a templates panel on the left of "Run Configurations" dialog box?

Answer 1

Download the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers package. It looks to me that PDE is required for the OSGi Framework launch configuration which is missing from the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers package.

PDE UI also provides comprehensive OSGi tooling, which makes it an ideal environment for component programming, not just Eclipse plug-in development.

...

Launchers - test and debug Eclipse applications and OSGi bundles.

Take a look at this answer too. Installing the PDE plugin through Install New Software also could be a solution.
