How to activate OSGI bundle?

I am working in Adobe CQ5. I made my project that contains only implementation, and the project title is Web Crawler.

And that project is started by one class that simply adds initial seeds.

I made OSGI bundle of my project and I deploy that also.

Now my question is how can I start my bundle, i.e, how can I add seeds ?

For that I read this link that tells me to make Activator class and put your function in the start method. I done the same. But that does not helps me to run the bundle.

Please help me how can I run the given bundle.

Edit No. 1

Can you tell me how can I make MANIFEST.MF file given in given tutorial ?

Look at the bndtools tutorial which is the easiest way to get you started with OSGi

bndtools is a user friendly tool based on Eclipse. With bndtools, you won't get lost in plugin hell. bndtools will also help you avoid BundleActivators since they were not such a good idea, Declarative Services is what OSGi should have been from day one. It also allows you to test the bundles without having to restart.

to create the manifest, if you are using maven (you should) you can use the maven bundle plugin. It will automatically generate a manifest file for you.

Then, to deploy and start your bundle you can use the maven-sling-plugin, which can deploy your bundles into sling.

If you want to manually activate your bundle, CQ5 provides a web based osgi console. you can activate it there. If it fails, there is probably an error in the start method of the activator class.
