[equinox-dev] policies wrt use of Bundle-ActivationPolicy

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

ECF has consumers that use our OSGi remote services implementation in 
client-server use cases.   Some of these also use other framework impls 
(e.g. felix) for the remote service host and/or consumer.

As a plugin to Eclipse, we use Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy for 
many/most of our bundles...but there are now requests [1] for us to 
remove BAP from some of our bundles, in order to facilitate usage in 
non-Eclipse use cases.

What are the current policies and/or guidelines for the use (or not) of 
BAP within (and/or outside of) Eclipse?

Thanks,

Scott
