[eclipse-dev] Eclipse-LazyStart deprecation

[Brian Bauman <baumanbr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PDE is adding OSGi R4.1 support for
the Bundle-ActivationPolicy header (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163707).
 With this addition, we are deprecating Eclipse-Lazy start for Eclipse
3.4.

Starting with tonight's N-Build, when
your target platform is 3.4 and a Manifest has an Eclipse-LazyStart, a
marker will appear in your Manifest.  We have provided a quickfix
which will automatically change the header to Bundle-ActivationPolicy.
 The new Bundle-ActivationPolicy header should provide the same functionality
as Eclipse-LazyStart, but will now be OSGi compliant.  For further
information on the header, please see the OSGi R4.1 specification.

If you have any questions or concerns
about this deprecation, please let me know.  Thanks!
