[equinox-dev] Deprecated version-match constants to be removed

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This note only concerns developers that
use the org.osgi.framework.Constants interface.

All String constants related to the
bundle manifest header attribute "version-match" have been deprecated
in the org.osgi.framework.Constants interface.  The following Constants
have been deprecated:

public final static String VERSION_MATCH_ATTRIBUTE
= "version-match";
public final static String VERSION_MATCH_QUALIFIER
= "qualifier";
public final static String VERSION_MATCH_MICRO
= "micro";
public final static String VERSION_MATCH_MINOR
= "minor";
public final static String VERSION_MATCH_MAJOR
= "major";
public final static String VERSION_MATCH_GREATERTHANOREQUAL
= "greaterthan-or-equal";

The only components I found that used
these constants was PDE and Update.  Both have been updated to remove
references to the deprecated constants.  I plan on removing the above
constants for the nightly build on Friday.  Please ensure that you
do not reference any of the deprecated constants to prevent compilation
errors.
