The goal was to provide a concept similar to the one of fragment but for
the framework (since fragments do not exists when the fwk is loaded) so
we can easily add jars on the fwk classpath. From an osgi point of view,
although the extensions are not real bundles or fragments, they can be
updated.
For example, one application of this is to make the console a fwk
extension, the eclipseAdaptor another, etc... so that people can more
easily remove things from the fwk or actually add things (like your
aspect adaptor :-)).
For now the support is really basic and only works for a limited number
of case but we'll make it more solid, so extensions can export or
provide packages.
If you want to use it you can specify in the config.ini
osgi.framework.extensions = <fwkExtensionName (i.e. the name of the
folder containing your extension without the version number)>
