• Import-Package and Require-Bundle don't need to overlap, you can specify a requirement in one or the other. To have a multi line header, start the continuation line after a blank in column 1.
• Put a blank line at the end of the manifest.mf file - due to a bug in felix.
• The igb, genometry and genoviz projects can by accessed as bundles. If a class/method is needed from igb/genometry/genoviz, it must be public, and the package must be exported in the manifest.mf Export-Package list. Ann's note: manifest.mf of what?
• If you want to add a tab window (Ann's note: Do you mean panel or window, because they can be opened as new windows?) as a bundle, there is a helper abstract class, com.affymetrix.igb.window.service.WindowActivator, that you can extend.
• If you need access to other bundles (like IGBService), you will not be sure when the
  bundle is available. (Ann's note: Please explain more) For Services, like IGBService and WindowService, you can use a ServiceTracker to be notified when the required service is available - see WindowActivator
  for an example.
