--------------------------------------------------------------

[~cziegeler] what about installations not performed directly via webconsole (e.g. osgi installer or bundle list of launchpad) - and how to identify which one to update if two with same symbolic name are availble (potentially the newer one but a new one could also replace both).

> Currently it seems not to be possible to install two bundles with the same symbolic name but differnt version to Felix (it is always assumed to be an update. 
> In cases like commons-lang and commons-lang3 (symbolic name org.apache.commons.lang) this creates a problem since the exported APIs are different and you might need to use both (dependencies of third bundles).
> This currently leads to the awkward situation that one of both needs to be wrapped in a custom bundle to have both APIs present in the same instance. 
> It should be possible to enforce installation of parallel bundles with differnt version via webconsole. (only question I cannot anwer right now is how update would detect which one to update for a further version).
