I'm not using it yet, but I guess I would have to  update about 30 poms to
pick the changes up, after that If you just import packages and not bundles,
there shouldn't be a problem. I would rather see that people would update
their
manifests so all external bundles would already be osgi ready, and a lot
are nowadays, which I think is cool and a great recognition of OSGi.

For now I'm just happy using the pax construct way, so I just hope the pde
guys
will fix this very annoying bug.

Thanks for the support,
Wouter
