[equinox-dev] Should OSGi bundles always export all packages?

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi OSGi experts,

In one of the Eclipse releases a warning was activated that a plugin
must  exports all its packages. It is possible to change this for a
workspace but IMHO this new default is wrong.

Plug-ins should not always export all packages as IMHO this defies the
purpose of a good module system. Internal stuff should be hidden.

Can you clarify what the OSGi recommended way is? See

Best regards, Lars
