Frank Mittag reopened MYFACES-2911:
-----------------------------------


I think I understand now why you have the entry, but this restriction seems to be more a logical one than a useful constraint if you run inside an OSGi environment.

First, the API bundle will run with all versions of IMPL greater than 2.0.1 anyway, because Require-Bundle: org.apache.myfaces.core.impl;bundle-version="2.0.1" only says that 2.0.1 is the minimal required version (otherwise it would be [2.0.1, 2.0.1]).

Second, if I create my own extended IMPL version of myfaces and name it  myversion.core.impl it will not run.

Third, I have described an usage scenario (see issue Trindidad-1901) where I "reuse" the API bundle and the IMPL is simply not visible to the API bundle.

I think if you provide an OSGi version of MYFACES you should consider the usage scenarios which are typical in this environment.

> The MANIFEST.MF file of the org.apache.myfaces.core.api bundle/jar contains the entry:
> Require-Bundle: org.apache.myfaces.core.impl;bundle-version="2.0.1" 
> So the API bundle requires the IMPL bundle to work. This is not needed and prevents scenarios where the e.g. two IMPL bundles just reference the same API bundle.
> The easiest solution is just to remove the entry.
