-------------------------------------
> If I well understand, you mean that in the pom file the dependency from
> org.eclipse.persistence.jpa should have the following version
<version>[2.1,3)</version>
No - this is definitely not a good idea. Using version ranges for a maven
dependency does not work well, and is highly discouraged by the maven
developers. The pom should pick a base supported version of EclipseLink and use
that. The version of EclipseLink used should then *not* be upgraded over time
unless explicitly necessary.

This usage is explicitly allowed by the OSGi core specification (R6) in chapter
8 subsection 6.

> Reporter: Timothy Ward
> Assignee: Christian Schneider
>
> The Aries EclipseLink Adapter has two main problems:
> 1. The package import ranges for the EclipseLink API are overly specific. The
> latest release of the adapter only works with EclipseLink 2.6, even though
> all of the APIs it uses were defined long before. This bundle should be built
> against an older EclipseLink to ensure that Aries JPA doesn't force users to
> upgrade EclipseLink unnecessarily.
> 2. The Aries EclipseLink Adapter has no dependency on the EclipseLink JPA
> bundle. All of the API that it uses comes from EclipseLink Core, and
> therefore when doing a provisioning resolve operation EclipseLink JPA is not
> added! This needs to be fixed with a Require-Capability for EclipseLink JPA.
> Require-Capability:
> osgi.identity;filter:='(osgi.identity=org.eclipse.persistence.jpa)';effective:=active
