> http://www.mail-archive.com/users@felix.apache.org/msg03403.html
> Section 3.5.5 of the OSGi core specification (4.1) states:
>   The Framework will automatically associate each package export definition
>   with the following attributes:
>     • bundle-symbolic-name - The bundle symbolic name of the exporting
>       bundle. In the case of a Fragment bundle, this is the host bundle's symbolic
>       name.
>     • bundle-version - The bundle version of the exporting bundle. In the case
>       of a Fragment bundle, this is the host bundle's version.
>       
> And section 3.6.5 specifies how these attributes must be applied when resolving
> packages.
> Using Apache Felix Version 1.4.1 I have encountered the following behaviour 
> when using different approaches to import packages exported by the system bundle
> (org.apache.felix.framework respectively system.bundle) when using attribute
> matching:
> For the following test cases the bundle manifest of the system bundle looks like
> this:
>   Bundle-Version = 1.4.1
>   Bundle-Name = System Bundle
>   Bundle-SymbolicName = org.apache.felix.framework
>   Export-Package = my.package; provider="xxx", ...
> Test Case 1:
>    Import-Package: my.package;bundle-symbolic-name="system.bundle"
>  Result: Package my.package could not be resolved!
>  
>  
> Test Case 2:
>    Import-Package: my.package;bundle-symbolic-name="org.apache.felix.framework"
>  Result: Package my.package could not be resolved!
>  
>  
> Test Case 3:
>    Import-Package: my.package;provider="xxx"
>  Result: Package my.package was resolved successfully.
>  
>  
> Test Case 4:
>    DynamicImport-Package: *;bundle-symbolic-name="system.bundle"
>  Result: Package my.package could not be resolved (class not found at runtime)!
>  
>  
> Test Case 2:
>    DynamicImport-Package: *;bundle-symbolic-name="org.apache.felix.framework"
>  Result: Package my.package could not be resolved (class not found at runtime)!
>  
>  
> Test Case 3:
>    DynamicImport-Package: my.package;provider="xxx"
>  Result: Package my.package was resolved successfully (at runtime).
> The same behaviour is also true for packages that are added to the list of 
> exported packages of the system bundle by extension bundles (fragment bundles 
> with extension:=framework). For such packages another problem arises as the 
> matching attributes as defined in the Export-Package header of the extension 
> bundle are not taken over by the system bundle. So for example if the extension
> bundle has the following export:
>    Export-Package my.package;provider="xxx";version="1.0.0"
> Then the system bundle seems to discard the attribute "provider" but respects the
> version attribute:
>    Export-Package my.package;version="1.0.0"
> So it looks as if the framework should be fixed to always add the automatic attributes to 
> exported packages (as defined in 3.5.5). Furthermore it should also make sure that all
> other (non automatic) attributes are respected especially for exorts that are added by
> extension bundles.
