This means the plugin has a dependency in the class path which exposes an 
export of version 4.0 of these packages. The plugin (and BND) will not just 
invent these versions.

Not a good idea. Better have the provider bundle deplyoed export the correct 
version numbers. See also the OSGi white paper on semantic versioning.
