[Framework] Adopt OSGi R4.3 API as framework internal API
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-2950
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2950
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Framework, Specification compliance
Affects Versions: framework-3.2.2
Reporter: Richard S. Hall
Assignee: Richard S. Hall
Fix For: framework-4.0.0
The R4.3 specification introduces more detailed API modeling bundle revisions
and wiring. Rather than just facading our existing abstractions for these
concepts, we should modify the framework implementation to adopt them wholesale
(i.e., replace our existing abstractions with the spec'ed abstractions).
Although the standard abstractions do not map one-to-one with our existing
abstractions, they are reasonably close and the benefit of having an
implementation that is consistent with the standard API probably outweighs the
cost of changing, since very few people actually depend on our internal API.
This issue will only be used for this internal refactoring process and
generally will not be used as the issue for implementing new R4.3
functionality. We'll try to introduce separate issues for new any new
functionality to make the change log more meaningful.
