[Oisin Hurley <ohurley@xxxxxxxx>]

More news from the world of cross-project issues. This time
about the use of the Eclipse-LazyStart header in the plug-in
manifest.

Begin forwarded message:
> There has been several discussions in various bug reports about  
> migrating from the Eclipse-LazyStart header to the new Bundle- 
> ActivationPolicy header specified in the OSGi R4.1 specification.  
> With the latest I-Builds PDE is now flagging the old Eclipse- 
> LazyStart header as deprecated and with this weeks I-Build PDE is  
> offering two quickfix options to migrate to the Bundle- 
> ActivationPolicy:
>
> 1) Convert the deprecated 'Eclipse-LazyStart' to 'Bundle- 
> ActivationPolicy'
> 2) Add 'Bundle-ActivationPolicy' header
>
> The Equinox team is recommending that developers use option 2 when  
> migrating to the new header. This will ensure that bundles will  
> continue to work on older Eclipse platforms where the Bundle- 
> ActivationPolicy header is not recognized. It will also allow the  
> bundle to work on other OSGi R4 Framework implementations which  
> probably do not recognize the Eclipse-LazyStart header.
