Everyone,

I'm in the process of cleaning up a massive amount of "required plug-ins" use. Please don't use it unless it is absolutely required. You can checkout any of the two OSGI books and various Eclipse books for reasons why, but the long and short of it is that it specifically ties your bundle to another with a specific name and version, which blocks modularity.
