Re: [equinox-dev] Provide new OSGi service API without obsolete API(Dict

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Todor and Tom.

@Tom, IMHO obsolete API is sufficient to provide newer API. Tools like
Sonar will flag this usage as an issue.

Would be nice to have API which does not result in Sonar warnings.

Maybe no need to deprecate the old OSGI API but also add a comment
that it is obsolete once the new API is available? ;-)

Best regards, Lars
