I don't understand what you mean.

Spring Dynamic Modules allows you to develop applications running in an OSGi framework.

If I understood your question correctly then my answer is Yes. Spring starting from 3.x follows OSGi framework and thats the reason you get bundle for each module rather getting everything in single spring.jar.

The standard frameworks are Apache Felix and Eclipse Equinox. See http://faq.javaranch.com/java/OSGiLinks for lots of useful information about OSGi.
