Java 8 System Package Definitions

Hi all

IIRC Sahoo once came up with nicely done System Package Definitions for Java platform APIs which included uses clauses.

Does anyone know the state of the Java 8 platform API and whether it already makes sense to go down the road of creating these definitions ?

Regards
Felix

Hi

I have also created FELIX-3786 with a patch for an interim solution.

Regards

Actually, Sahoo verified which packages were part of the Java platform 
API, but I used bnd to calculate the "uses" constraints...I can imagine 
no one would ever want to do that by hand. :-)

If there is a viable platform that people might use, then we should do 
it. A simple patch is just to copy the Java 7 API over to Java 8 for 
starters...
