[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (FELIX-3085) Importing/exporting "."
should not be allowed
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3085?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13094769#comment-13094769 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I can understand the desire for short cuts, but in this case it really is meaningless and completely outside the OSGi spec. Just consider if people started regularly using "." to import and export the default package in OSGi. It is very likely your import of "." may get resolved to someone else's export of ".", which would definitely not be what you want.
Also, since it is non-spec'd behavior, using it means your bundles likely won't be portable across OSGi implementations, as you have witnessed by your experiments so far.

> In the Equinox implementation of OSGi, importing and exporting the default package (".") is allowed, whereas it fails to produce the expected results under Apache Felix.
