Re: [equinox-dev] Custom manifest headers

Note that the OSGi 4.3 spec introduces the concept of Require-Capability. Equinox has a pre implementation of this with the Eclipse-GenericRequire, which of course is not understood by Felix. As a result, Felix doesn't know that it's missing a requirement (so starts it) whilst Equinox 'obeys' the Eclipse specific header.

If your version of both Equinox and Felix supported the Require-Capability and this bundle used the Require-Capbility then you'd see the same behaviour in both places.

Hello,
 
I was experimenting with some bundles on Equinox and Felix and I observed a case when one and the same bundle would start on Felix, but not on Equinox. The reason was a custom manifest header, Eclipse-GenericRequire. Since this is Eclipse-specific header, Felix ignores it and starts the bundle, although there is no bundle providing such capability. Equinox detects that no bundle provides the capability and does not start the bundle.
 
I was wondering doesn’t this represent an incompatibility between the OSGi implementations?
