If the manifest file in the bundle does not export packages with a 
version, then the version of the packages is 0.0.0. 
http://www.osgi.org/javadoc/r4v43/core/org/osgi/framework/Version.html#emptyVersion

Some tools which take input for the manifest may put the bundle version on 
the exported packages if no version is specified (in the generated 
bundle). But that is a tool choice and not part of the OSGi 
specifications.

No one should use Require-Bundles. It is so messy. But if you require a 
bundle, you get the package in the actual bundle that is required.
