Brahim Djoudi commented on COLLECTIONS-483:
-------------------------------------------
It's not really a bug to fix (in the releases indicated for instance), just a
proposal to improve the package breakdown.
In other words, it's essentially a preventive processing rather than a curative
action.
The OSGi bundle is actually modular since it contains packages exported with
version numbers.
However, I quite agree: you could drop all the classes in a single package and
all had worked fine as well ;)
> Cyclic dependencies among several packages.

> Many packages have mutual dependency, directly or undirectly.
> These dependencies may be avoided just by moving some classes and interfaces
> within different packages.
> This refactoring breaks API compatibility but enhances the useability and the
> maintainability (hopefully) of the library. In addition, few issues in
> dynamic environments (like OSGi) less occur.
