Re: [ecf-dev] BBAPI source code repository.

Hmm... I just checked out the whole project-set and I get a lot of
errors that classes in:
org.eclipse.ecf.core.util are not resolved. I think this is exactly
because two bundles are exporting the same package and Import-Package
will resolve to only one of them I think (I'm using 3.3M3 if that
makes a difference).

So perhaps it's not a good idea to use Import-Package everywhere? It
also makes it a pain when packages change and I think dependency
management becomes too granular. I've personally used Import-Package
when declaring dependencies on external libraries or on packages that
might be bundled differently depending on situation. Or when trying to
keep dependencies to a minimum. But when I know very well which bundle
should provide the packages, I usually use Require-Bundle. But I know
Peter Kriens from OSGi for example doesn't like Require-Bundle at all.

Maybe we could ask for advice from the Equinox team?

Hi Erkki,

Cool...thanks!

BTW...over the weekend I moved all the core plugins to use
Import-Package rather than Require-Bundle.  Among the new set of core
plugins there is now only *one* Require-Bundle...that's org.eclipse.ecf
requiring org.eclipse.ecf.identity.  The reason  I left that one is that
org.eclipse.ecf.identity and org.eclipse.ecf both contribute code to a
single package (org.eclipse.ecf.core.util), and so Require-Bundle is needed.
