I think it is fine for the PackagePermission action EXPORT to also imply
the action IMPORT. I don't see a situation where we would want to allow a
bundle to export a package but not allow the bundle to also import that
package.

[osgi-dev] Errata ? PackagePermission in R4
Hi OSGi Experts,
In the spec R4.1, section 3.5.6 says
"Exporting a package does not imply the import of that same package (in
Release 3, an export did imply an import).".
In addition, section 3.5.4 says
"In order to be allowed to import a package (except for packages
starting
with java.), a bundle must have PackagePermission[<package-name>,
IMPORT]."
Section 6.1.18, however, says
"PackagePermission has two actions:
EXPORT and IMPORT. The EXPORT action implies the IMPORT action".
I guess the description of 6.1.18 is a kind of errata.
What do you think of it ?
