Oh I see.

So, first making these packages optional is not really satisfying, for two reasons:

1. Providers (bundle exporting these packages) may come and go, and the optional resolution does not support such dynamism
2. The impact of not having these packages is quite huge. I agree that an initial detection would be enough, but if I want to be more dynamic, that's not that simple

One possibility would be to package a _bare_ version of iPOJO core. This version would not contain _org.osgi.services.*_ packages (just import them). 

WDYT ?

>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: iPOJO
>    Affects Versions: ipojo-runtime-1.12.0
>         Environment: ubuntu 14, karaf
>            Reporter: Karl Leopold
>
> The _org.apache.felix.ipojo_ bundle imports, exports and physically contains interface-classes of packages _org.osgi.services.cm_ and _org.osgi.services.log_, both with version 1.3.
> I'm running ipojo in karaf 3.0.2. There, these osgi-packages also exists, just in another version.
> Sometimes it happens that a bundle of mine, which has a package-dependency on _org.osgi.services.cm_ is bound to the ipojo-version instead of the one of felix/karaf. Now, the bundle is resolved, but the service dependency on the ConfigurationAdmin can never be resolved, because the implementation is incompatible to the imported interface.
> I can fix that, if I play around with the bundle start levels.
> Anyway, I think it's a bug in iPOJO, because it should not inline any OSGi API packages.
