Re: [VOTE] Retire Maven OSGi

[Konrad Windszus <kw...@apache.org>]

Hi, just for the record:
There is a replacement for most of the classes in bnd: https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/blob/9a4d7bcc04c2377641911b517ca8b1915f763a9a/biz.aQute.bndlib/src/aQute/bnd/version/MavenVersion.java

I just replaced the code using maven-osgi with bndlib in Apache Sling : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8656.
