[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Orbit packages with versions

[Christian Campo <christian.campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Riena uses two components that are maintained in Orbit that we have slight problem with. One is org.apache.log4j and the 
other is org.easymock. The problem is that the bundle specifies a bundle version but the packages have no such version.

Now we have a pretty keen user of Riena (a very nice person actually) who asked us the replace Require Bundle statements 
in our manfest files with import package statements. We did that but found out that Equinox or the PDE is not able to 
find a matching bundle if we import the package with version number.

The reason seems to be that if the bundle exports a package and does not specify a package version then it does not mean 
(as I would assume) that the package version is the bundle version but it is no version. So asking for a specific 
version of a package resolves to no bundle found.

1. Is that a bug or a feature that packages with no version info dont "inherit" the bundle version

2. I guess I have to bug the person who added the bundle to add the package version info ? right ?

thanks
