@kwin This is claude's effort try to get our osgi integration tests working again. Some have been disabled since 2017.

Is this better than nothing? Is this heading in the right direction? Are there simpler ways to write osgi integration tests?

I think using https://ops4j.github.io/pax-exam/ is easier than just using Felix standalone. That already provides helpers to install bundles and has different options for forking. At Apache Jackrabbit there is e.g. https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/tree/trunk/oak-it-osgi which is probably similar to what you want to achieve.

Y, I struggled with pax-exam... or claude and I struggled for a while with pax-exam. We couldn't get the imports/requirements right. osgi/pax-exam are way outside of my comfort zone. Let's go with this, and if anyone who actually knows and uses osgi can improve it, future PRs are welcomed!
