Install the plug-in bundle in the Equinox console

1. Install the plug-in bundle in the Equinox console.

   osgi> install file:///<path to bundle>

   Equinox lists the bundle ID for the newly installed bundle:

   Bundle id is 17

2. Enter the following line to start the bundle in the Equinox console, where <id> is the bundle ID assigned when the bundle was installed:

   osgi>  start <id>

3. Retrieve the service status in the Equinox console to verify that the bundle started:

   osgi> ss

   When the bundle starts, the bundle lists the ACTIVE state, for example:

   17      ACTIVE      com.mycompany.plugin.bundle_xx
