Hi,

Apologies if this is clearly stated somewhere but I couldn't find an explicit 
statement in the spec..
I just want to clarify something in relation to the 
RequiredBundle#getRequiringBundles() method. Should this method return all 
bundles that
are currently wired to the underlying bundle as a result of both Require-Bundle 
and explicit Import-Package statements?

>From the spec:
"The information about a required bundle provided by this object may
change. A RequiredBundle object becomes stale if an exported package of
the bundle it references has been updated or removed as a result of calling
PackageAdmin.refreshPackages()). If this object becomes stale, its 
getSymbolicName()
and getVersion() methods continue to return their original values,
isRemovalPending() returns true, and getBundle() and
getRequiringBundles() return null."

To me, this implies that wiring as a result of explicit Import-Package 
statements should also be considered. 
If not, then should the RequiredBundle object only become stale when the bundle 
it represents no longer exports any packages.. 
As long as it continues to export 1+ packages then any bundle previously wired 
as a result of Require-Bundle would remain a valid requiring bundle.

Thanks,
Alan
