OSGi unit testing without step that packages bundles

Question

I have checked a few testing solution for OSGI including PAX and had a quick look at the abstract TestCase within Spring DM but they both appear to require one to jar up and bundle associated bundles. I was hoping to find something that works without this intermediate step. Imagine the ability to package up packages on your classpath so that packages x and y made up bundle XY and packages x and z made up bundle XZ. Bundle XZ would not "see" package "y" but could import a service from XY living in package x. Any comments if this is possible or if a equivalent test case / library exists ?

Accepted Answer

I think that using Tiny Bundles from OPS4J with Pax Exam is what you are looking for.
