Leaping on this thread as it's something I've had a lot of experience

Another issue that is worth considering (and yet another reason to
separate into api and impl) is that due to osgi resolution requirements
if you put your impl in the same bundle as the api this effectively
requires client code to resolve bundles that your impl uses but they
may
have no need of using.
This can rapidly get out of control and in the worst case a client
needs
to import a much larger set of bundles to use a client api than would
otherwise be needed.
Yes, this is definitely a concern. Just to paint the flip side of the
spectrum, if you put the API in a separate bundle then either you have a lot
of small bundles (high overhead ratio in management and runtime foot print)
or you lump together unrelated API and have a similar problem to what you
describe.
I'm not countering but rather suggesting that there is not a single, one
size fits all answer.
Agreed on all points.

Dave.
