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.

...

The compendium interfaces can be downloaded from the following various places, the easiest is probably from Maven Central, for example:
"g! install http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/osgi/org.osgi.compendium/4.2.0/org.osgi.compendium-4.2.0.jar".
(Note: this step is not required for DOSGI RI 1.3)

To set up Felix you can follow these steps:
Verified with: Felix 4.0.2 and DOSGI RI 1.3

../felix-4.0.2> java -jar bin/felix.jar

The compendium interfaces are part of the Equinox/Eclipse distribution and can be found in a file called plugins/org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.0.v20090520-1800.jar (the timestamp could vary), for example:
"osgi> install file:plugins/org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.100.v20100503.jar"
(Note: this step is not required for DOSGI RI 1.3)

To set up Equinox you can follow these steps:
Verified with: Eclipse 3.6.2

.../eclipse> java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.2.R36x_v20110210.jar -console
osgi> install install file:plugins/org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.100.v20100503.jar
Bundle id is 1

osgi> install http://www.apache.org/dist/cxf/dosgi/1.3/cxf-dosgi-ri-singlebundle-distribution-1.3.jar
Bundle id is 21

osgi> start 21
