1) Check out this project from GitHub ( https://github.com/protegeproject/protege-plugin-examples )

git clone https://github.com/protegeproject/protege-plugin-examples.git

2) Open it (the folder) as an existing project with NetBeans 8

3) Build it.

If you want get deeper into developing production-ready applications using OSGi, I'd like to suggest to take a look on the Apache Sling Launchpad project.

( http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sites/eclipsecon.org.2013/files/2013_EclipseConSlingInstaller.pdf )

( https://github.com/apache/sling )

The Sling Launchpad does not depend on other Sling specific bundles and can be used even without the Apache Sling framework.

It makes everyday life much more comfortable.

You just add the following snippet to your plugin's pom.xml and every time you build the plugin project NetBeans updates the plugin in the felix container.

      <build>
        <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.sling</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-sling-plugin</artifactId>
                    <executions>

                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>

            </plugins>
        </build>
