[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-4787) Should the DS implementation depend on R6 core?

David Jencks commented on FELIX-4787:
-------------------------------------

I have no strong preference either way.  When I moved java support for felix DS to java 5, there were a lot of claims that "someone" was using it on earlier javas but no one spoke up as actually doing so.  I mind the attempt to support earlier frameworks less than I mind the workaround to support earlier buggy versions of felix config admin.

> Right now the new DS implementation stills tries to run on older frameworks, the bnd.bnd file claims it works with version 1.4 of the framework api.
> However, the new DS spec includes support for ServiceObjects and DTOs which are part of core R6 (package version 1.8). There is some effort in the code to still run on an older framework if these features are not used, but I'm wondering if this is a good idea and how we ensure that everything is working.
> Now, that we have an official Apache Felix releases that is R6 compliant, I would rather require this as the minimal version.
> [~djencks] WDYT?
