Hi, thanks for the information!
I see that for example aries blueprint bundle contains the osgi blueprint api and I now it seems to be a bit more clear for me why. However I am confused with the org.osgi.service.jdbc package. What should contain this one? We have several JDBC drivers so it would not be a good idea to take it into every of them. Anyway it is not a good idea to change the jars the 3rd party companies give for us. If I take osgi-enterprise.jar into the classpath that contains the org.osgi.service.jdbc package I will have org.osgi.blueprint package in my classpath twice (ones from aries blueprint and ones from the osgi-enterprise). I solved it by excluding the aries-blueprint-api but I can imagine other similar cases where the solution is not that easy. Till now it seemed to me that although OSGI let's us having the same packages with multiple versions in the same container the developers and admins should be aware of having the same API more than ones from the same major version (where the newer is surely compatible with the older one).
