Re: [orbit-dev] Export-Package and "uses" directive (related to jsoup)

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

"uses" is a very good directive to use for OSGi class resolution (chaining
the right things together). It is occasionally critical, or required, to
get things right, at runtime.

Plus, we should strive to keep our bundles exactly like originals, unless
there is a very good reason not to ... since otherwise we might subtly
"change behavior" from original.

As for tools ... I think PDE has a "compute uses" sort of function (in
clean-up manifests?) ... then you could compare the two? I think there is
an OSGi tool, bnd?, that will do it too?

But, I'd just go with what they have, unless you now of a reason not too.

Thanks,

Sent by:	orbit-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx



The original jar distribution of jsoup contains an OSGi manifest with
Export-Package and it's using the "uses" directive.  Is there any advantage
to keeping the "uses" directive or should I drop it from the Orbit version
of the bundle manifest?  If I should be keeping the "uses" directive, is
there a way to verify that the existing "uses" directives are correct?

Thanks,

David
