Hi,
I am having a bit of trouble understanding how the package versioning works. I
assume that BND is doing some calculations, but it seems to be getting some
input, and I cannot figure out from where.
When I build the org.apache.felix.converter project, it produces this in the
manifest (edited for reading):
Export-Package:
org.osgi.util.converter;version="1.0”;
status=provisional;
uses:="org.osgi.util.function“
Note that the packages are version="1.0”, and are tagged with
“status=provisional”.
The version is easy to understand, as the package-info.java file has this
Annotation:
@Version("1.0")
package org.osgi.util.converter;
But where does the “provisional” come from? I was not able to find a
configuration anywhere in the POMs…
Next, when I build the org.apache.felix.serializer project, which depends on
org.apache.felix.converter, I get this:
Import-Package:
org.osgi.util.converter;version="[0.1,1)”;
status=provisional,
Again, I get the “status=provisional”, but even if I don’t know where it comes
from, at least it matches the export from the Converter.
What is troubling here is that bnd (I assume) is calculating the input as
version="[0.1,1)”, which means that my system will not resolve to the correct
version of the converter.
Cheers,
