Hello, Is there any correct way to get the version of a package with OSGi ? I didn't see anything on the Bundle or BundleContext other than the bundle version.
When I create JAR files (without BND), I can add sections to the MANIFEST.MF such as : Name: org/osgi/service/log/ Implementation-Title: OSGi Log Service Implementation-Vendor: MyVendorName Specification-Title: OSGi Log Service Specification-Vendor: OSGi Alliance Specification-Version: 1.3.0 ...which is available from MyLogServiceImpl.class.getPackage().getSpecificationVersion() (which I can then parse into an OSGi Version object). Indeed, even the standard JDK classes work this way. For example, when I introspect the OSGi compendium (for example, here: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/osgi/org.osgi.compendium/4.2.0/ ), I'm resorting to a fallback approach, seeking out the "packageinfo" file (a text stub, containing "version 1.3" for example). My use case isn't "production", it's for an application that can create new "plugin" OSGi projects into an existing frameworks by selecting required services and services to publish by introspecting a fixed set of bundles (so that customers can extend the base functionality of our application). Thanks, Christopher
