[orbit-dev] Versions of Export-Package

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

  The libraries in Orbit seem quite inconsistent in terms of whether their 
Export-Package manifest sections specify a version.  Is there any particular 
reason this is so inconsistent?

  My instinct is to believe that given the recommendations that Import-Package 
should be used instead of Require-Bundle, it would be a good idea if Orbit 
libraries exported version numbers for packages as well.  Can someone point me 
to the policy about this (if one exists) and the reasoning?

  Additionally, if Export-Package specifies a version, should be of the form 
x.y.z.qualifier like the docs suggest for Bundle-Version?

Thanks in advance,
-Tom
