Description Alex Blewitt CLA 2015-09-29 04:43:35 EDT 
The PackageAdmin service is deprecated and most uses of this are either:

* Getting the bundle context for a particular class (replacement: FrameworkUtil)
* Getting a list of installed bundles (replacement: BundleContext.getBundles())
* Looking up a class from a bundle (replacement: Bundle.loadClass)

The use of PackageAdmin is encouraging the use of @SuppressWarning("deprecation") which may be hiding other errors.

+1
Comment 2 Alex Blewitt CLA 2015-09-29 04:57:19 EDT 
(Oh, and tests which call refreshPackages() - these may be replaceable by FrameworkWiring.refreshBundles instead.)

No plans for me to work on this at the moment, re-assigning to inbox.

Mass move to 4.7 as M7 is approaching. Please move back in case you are planning to fix it for Neon.

Of course I meant "major or below".

Sorry for the noise!
