Hi,
Incidentally, some of Jerome's answers can also be found in the
GlassFish product documentation:

According to Packaging an Add-On Component
<
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-1749/ghpun?l=en&a=view> in the
Add-On Component Development Guide, the component should be packaged as
an OSGi bundle. Admittedly this section is a little thin right now, but
if there's more to say, we can consider adding this information in a
future (post-3.1) release.

This requirement is also stated in Integrating an Add-On Component With
GlassFish Server
<
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-1749/ghmne?l=en&a=view> in the
Add-On Component Development Guide. Note that in the GlassFish product
docs, the placeholder /as-install/ is defined to include the glassfish
directory <
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-1749/ghpfg>.

Information about how to connect to the Apache Felix Remote shell is
provided in OSGi Module Management Subsystem
<
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-1751/gjjxt?l=en&a=view>
in the Administration Guide. This section also includes a link to more
information about the Felix Remote Shell and some simple examples of
Felix Remote Shell commands for managing OSGi modules.
