Re: [equinox-dev] Deprecated Import-Service & Export-Service

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Equinox code does not use Export-Service/Import-Service
(maybe your thinking of Export-Package/Import-Package headers).  These
headers have been replaced by the use of Declarative Services specification
which uses xml to specify service dependancies.  In OSGi R3 these
headers are not interpreted by the framework at all.  They are only
used by management servers to help with deploying bundles which depend
on services.

Subject	[equinox-dev] Deprecated Import-Service & Export-Service

Hi,

I'm a just a curious newbie to OSGI. While reading the R4 Core spec, items
3.2.1.19 & 3.2.1.22 says that the manifest headers Import-Service &
Export-Service have been deprecated. Why were they deprecated ? The equinox
code
still uses both headers.

Regards,

Gavin
