Running Knopflerfish with Security turned on

For most users, the most common way of running Knopflerfish, or any OSGi container for that matter, is probably to run with security turned off. But in some contexts you need to turn security on. To overcome the set up hassle most users encounter the first time they get exposed to the ConditionalPermissionAdmin service in OSGi, and security in general in Java, we have created a hands on guide and tutorial on how to run Knopflerfish with Security turned On.

The small tutorial also includes some example bundles, including full sources. The examples are checked in to the KF SVN:
