The Apache Felix framework is intended to be easily launchable and embeddable. For example, Felix avoids the use of system properties for configuration, since these are globals and can cause interference if multiple framework instances are created in the same VM.

The goal is to make it possible to use Felix in as many scenarios as possiblea variety of scenarios; however, this is still just a goal. In other words, this is a work in progress and if any issues arise, it would be greatly appreciated if they are brought to the attention of the Felix community. The next section provides a Felix API overview, while the remainder of the document is divided into two sections, one focusing on how to launch Felix and one focusing on how to embed Felix into a host application.
