It has come to my attention that some bundles in eclipse appear to be using
interim headers and attributes that never made it into a final OSGi
specification. For Luna the Equinox framework no longer supports these
interim headers [1]. This seemed like a relatively safe change since we
assumed all bundles at Eclipse have long since moved to real OSGi specified
headers if they were available. I could simply add back support for the
interim headers into the Framework, but I fear this will just brush the
issue under the rug and result in Eclipse having many bundles that have
invalid bundle manifests from an OSGi specification perspective. Besides I
would like to remove these eclipse-isms from the framework if possible.
Please test on Luna and verify your stuff is working. If you use any of
the following in your bundle manifests it is likely stuff is not working as
expected:
- Provide-Package header
- singleton=true attribute on Bundle-SymbolicName header
- reprovide=true attribute on Require-Bundle
- optional=true attribute on Require-Bundle
