Prerequisites for the single-bundle distribution:
The single-bundle distribution requires some of the interfaces of the OSGi compendium specification. These are provided with the Equinox and Felix OSGi distributions, but not installed by default.

...

To set up Equinox you can follow these steps:
Verified with: Eclipse 3.5 RC 3

.../eclipse>javaeclipse> java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090520.jar -console
osgi> install file:plugins/org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.0.v20090520-1800.jar
Bundle id is 1

osgi> install http://www.apache.org/dist/cxf/dosgi/1.0/cxf-dosgi-ri-singlebundle-distribution-1.0.jar
Bundle id is 2

osgi> start 2
... some log messages may appear...
osgi> ss

Framework is launched.

id      State       Bundle
0       ACTIVE      org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.0.v20090520
1       RESOLVED    org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.0.v20090520-1800
2       ACTIVE      cxf-dosgi-ri-singlebundle-distribution_1.0.0

However, you can also create a config.ini file to automatically load these bundles. This approach is described in the Multi Bundle Setup page.
