Equinox will not export the annotation package (via Export-Package) because it will lead to a bad practice of using Import-Package for these non-runtime packages. Whatever the solution ends up being to get the annotations on the classpath of the project, PDE must do so without requiring the bundle manifest to declare a runtime dependency on the annotation package (Import-Package or Require-Bundle).

Let's continue the discussion in the bug report.

You can simply copy the sources from Equinox. I think you still need a CQ, though. It can be a re-use CQ for a subset of the original CQ. Might be easier to jut go with a full re-use. I've cc'ed equinox-dev because I think this topic may be interesting for them, too. -Gunnar -- Gunnar Wagenknecht gun...@wagenknecht.org, http://guw.io/ On 03 Apr 2016, at 14:04, Peter Nehrer <pneh...@eclipticalsoftware.com> wrote: Hi, in order to improve user experience with DS Annotations, I need to contribute package org.osgi.service.component.annotations to PDE projects' classpath (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=488800). This package is already part of Equinox's org.eclipse.osgi.services bundle; however, in order to make these annotations available to external builders, they would need to be in a separate jar (otherwise users would have to place the entire bundle on the build path). Would it be OK to extract that package from Equinox and provide it via PDE as a separate JAR? Since this isn't new code contribution, do I need any special permissions/process?
