Re: [tycho-user] Support for subfolders in plug-in jars

["Mangin, Franck" <FranckMangin@xxxxxxxx>]

The OSGI bundles are to be consumed in non-OSGI legacy applications, this is the simplest approach to hide the internal classes from plain java apps that put the bundle jar on their classpaths (less clutter than creating fragments for the internal classes for example).

There are probably other valid use cases for subfolders in the jar, or the Bundle-Classpath directive wouldn't have been introduced...

Thanks for your answer though!
