No, package admin may not be available on all future framework

same concern and will keep an implementation of PackageAdmin around
for a long time.
I'm not sure I understand the seriousness of this "breaking change"
though. There is an alternative way of doing this as BJ suggests.
Also, PackageAdmin may have been a mandatory core service in OSGi R4.2
specification, but it has not always been so. Previous releases of
the core specifications made the PackageAdmin service optional.
Although I don't think there is any reasonable core framework
implementation available that does not provide PackageAdmin at the moment.
I guess I didn't even remember making them mandatory...the R4.2 spec
still has sentences like this:
"For example, a Framework vendor could supply the
optional services like Permission Admin service and Start Level service with
Framework extension bundles."

BJ, could you confirm that the old API will still be available in
all frameworks... otherwise this would be a serious breaking
change for existing clients.

There is no replacement for that method. You can just grovel over
the bundles to find this information. Seems like a job for a
utility class...
That method was not a good fit for packageadmin anyway since it
nothing to do with the wiring state of the bundles.

Hi,
What's the recommended replacement for
org.osgi.service.packageadmin.PackageAdmin.getBundles(String,
String)? I
was looking for a similar method in the new org.osgi.framework.wiring
package. But it appears that there is none. I haven't checked the
changes for M6, though.
