Hi Raymond,

That's certainly true for the osgi.core jar, which must be used only as a
build-time dependency (and indeed it's better to build against this than
against a specific framework such as Equinox, since you avoid accidentally
depending on anything not in the spec).

However there is no problem using the osgi.cmpn or osgi.enterprise jars as
deployed bundles in the runtime. Some people complain that they are too big
and incoherent, but I don't particularly care since they are only
interfaces and pure APIs.

Neil
