Q: 

How to Represent an OSGi Runtime Configuration in Ivy?

In contrast to the POJO world where the runtime classpath is just an ordered list of containers, in OSGi, the containers from the runtime classpath itself can be ordered lists of container paths.

How can/should such a structured runtime configuration be represented in an ivy.xml file?

For terminology please see section 3.8 from OSGi Service Platform Core Specification release 4.

A: 

Ivy is a generic dependency manager. I don't work on OSGi bundles but the attached link might give you some pointers how how bundles can be structured and managed using ivy:

This does not answer my question at all. I have googled for *osgi* and *ivy* myself!

Grumpy... Your question made little sense as the most common use case for ivy is downloading standard java jar files. I thought that perhaps a website that used ivy in the context of OSGi would be helpful. Best of luck!

The link given by Mark *appears* to contain a lot of useful information. Perhaps it would be helpful if you clarified your question.
