Re: [ecf-dev] Move to 1.1 foundation

[Jeff McAffer <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In essence the vast majority of users will have to move to Foundation 
1.1 so this is more of a priniciple, mindset discussion.  The key bundle 
in Equinox that is moving is org.eclipse.equinox.common.  Most people 
depend on that directly or indirectly.  The framework itself is moving 
the new OSGi EE but that is not exactly foundation 1.1.
