Subject: [equinox-dev] RequiresBundle, ImportPackage and virtual providers

Good question! :-) I am currently wrestling with this myself.

Proposal?

Kind regards,

     Peter Kriens



NB> Peter,

NB> I have a tangential question about JSR 291. You said:

NB> I agree with this of course, but given that JSR 291 does not intend to

NB> For that matter, why IS the Service Layer being excluded??

NB> Sorry, perhaps this thread should be on osgi-dev rather than equinox-dev.

NB> Regards
NB> Neil
