David Jencks commented on FELIX-4787:
-------------------------------------
I have no strong preference either way. When I moved java support for felix DS
to java 5, there were a lot of claims that "someone" was using it on earlier
javas but no one spoke up as actually doing so. I mind the attempt to support
earlier frameworks less than I mind the workaround to support earlier buggy
versions of felix config admin.
> Should the DS implementation depend on R6 core?

> Right now the new DS implementation stills tries to run on older frameworks,
> the bnd.bnd file claims it works with version 1.4 of the framework api.
> However, the new DS spec includes support for ServiceObjects and DTOs which
> are part of core R6 (package version 1.8). There is some effort in the code
> to still run on an older framework if these features are not used, but I'm
> wondering if this is a good idea and how we ensure that everything is working.
> Now, that we have an official Apache Felix releases that is R6 compliant, I
> would rather require this as the minimal version.
