Several projects provide extra features to an OSGi runtime.

• bundle repository /bundlerepository - Bundle repository service.

• dependency manager /dependencymanager - A versatile java API, allowing to declaratively register, acquire, and manage dynamic OSGi services.
• fileinstall /fileinstall* - A utility to automatically install bundles from a directory.
• gogo /gogo - A command line shell, runtime and set of base commands for interacting with and introspecting an OSGi framework.
• inventory /inventory - Provides some mechanisms to get the current state of the system and therefore provides an inventory of the system.
• ipojo /ipojo - A service component runtime aiming to simplify OSGi application development.
• jaas support /jaas - Bundle to simplify JAAS usage within OSGi environment.
• logback /logback - A simple integration of the OSGi R7 Log (1.4) service to Logback backend.
• rootcause /rootcause - Finding the root cause of problems with OSGi declarative services components.
