Delivering an Add-On Component Through Update Tool
To enable an add-on component to plug in to the GlassFish Server kernel in the same way as other components, package the component as an OSGi bundle.
A bundle is the unit of deployment in the OSGi module management subsystem. To package a component as an OSGi bundle, package the component's constituent files in a Java archive (JAR) file with appropriate manifest entries. The manifest entries provide information about the component that is required to enable the component to be plugged into the GlassFish Server kernel, such as:
Name
Version
Dependencies
Capabilities
