Yeah, there's that, and we also have our own UI scripting console.
However, it's just not the same level of utility as a real shell.

I was just thinking a command which starts a persistent subshell from the
gogo cli.
However, yes I suppose it would execute from within the bundle context of
the command's own bundle. You could allow that bundle to have access to as
much or as little as you like. It would be simple to allow it to get
everything with dynamic package imports.
I realize the gogo shell already has a pseudo Lisp like live scripting
ability, but it's very alien to work with. Since groovy and gradle are
becoming quite popular I thought it would solve some of my prototyping slow
downs if I could simply do lots of work from the command line. One could
even come up with a nifty DSL for working with the bundles & services.

Yeah, live scripting is always dangerous...
But don't they call that "Continuous Deployment" though these days? ;)

I think I've peaked my own interest enough to want to at least try it. :)
Maybe over the weekend I'll try a POC.

FWIW you can execute arbitrary code (groovy/ruby etc) within OSGi
context using Felix Script Console [1]

IIUIC this is a shell which is able to execute Java code as if it would be part of a bundle, right ?
This sounds terrficly interesting and no, I don't know of such a biest.
But I would think that something could easily be implemented based on BeanShell ?
Maybe along these lines:
* Start session — installs and starts a pseudo bundle providing the context for execution
* execute code in the context of the session bundle
* End session — uninstalls the pseudo bundle for cleanup
Of course, this allows tons of nasty things to be done like starting threads etc. but testing and development, I could imagine it would be wonderful
WDYT ?
