Don't worry, just go ahead with your stuff and I will cope ;-)

No, FindHook is currently just a draft and Felix does not implement it.
It may well be that some trunk state of Eclipse implements it in some
way or the other...

My primary intent actually is to prevent starting the framework into
startlevel 1, checking for system bundle fragments, restart and then
"manually" go to the target start level.

By installing and checking bundles after calling Framework.init we can
either continue starting or stop and re-init and start the framework and
thus have the FRAMEWORK_STARTED event really at the end of the startup.

Felix
