Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Neon.3 Update Problems

Well, the good news is that the httpclient 4.5 bundle didn't make it into any of the packages as far as I can see.

I've just had a look at the latest Neon repository metadata, and there are a lot of bundles that require a httpclient < 4.5 [1], and apparently only Linux Tools, that (by way of the Jersey Apache Connector) requires httpclient >= 4.5 [2]. I think the safe bet would be for Linux Tools to do a release that uses the Neon Orbit to get rid of the newer httpclient if that's possible.

While in theory the two httpclient bundles should be able to work side-by-side, we've seen a lot of wiring issues in Oxygen due to the mix - some of which now apparently having propagated to Neon, as seen in the thread linked to by Ed. I'm very much in doubt that even using a fixed httpclient 4.5 bundle would solve these...

Best,
Carsten
