------------------------------------
Summary: Converter uses wrong/incompatible OSGi Function interface
Key: FELIX-5512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5512
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Converter
Reporter: Neil Bartlett
The converter project includes a source copy of the OSGi Function API,
{{org.osgi.util.function}}. Unfortunately this API is incompatible with the
official OSGi Function API.
{{Function#apply}} is not permitted to throw checked exceptions (see OSGi R6
Compendium, section 705.11.2.1). However the source copy in this project
declares the {{apply}} method with {{throws Exception}}. Unfortunately this
means that code in the project will not compile against the official API, for
example one of the lambdas in ConverterImpl wants to throw
ClassNotFoundException.
This may not be a problem in an OSGi deployment if the function API is embedded
in the bundle. But if you use converter as a JAR in a flat classpath
application then it could conflict with the API JAR.
