Gary Pinkham updated CXF-2216:
------------------------------

    Attachment: config.ini

Attached is my equinox configuration that allowed the CXF multi bundle to resolve (and work) under Equinox and the Servlet Bridge (running inside JBoss)

> Equinox exports system packages as version=0.0.0. CXF bundle (and CXF bundle jaxrs) imports some of these packages as specific versions. This causes problems because:
>    * Application Developer has to provide bundles for these packages instead of letting CXF use the packages that Equinox exports
>    * When another bundle uses a system package specifying version=0.0.0, for example javax.mail;version=1.4.0 uses javax.activation;version=0.0.0, this causes "uses" conflict because CXF uses javax.mail;version=1.4.0 and javax.activation;version=1.0
>    * My workaround was to patch the CXF jar manifest.mf to remove version specifiers in some packages it imports
> I've identified 5 packages that need to have its version specifier left out in CXF's Import-Package in order for my app to work:
>     * javax.activation
>     * javax.annotation
>     * javax.xml.stream
>     * javax.xml.stream.events
>     * javax.xml.stream.util
> I'd vote for these import-packages to have no version specifier as well:
>    * javax.resource
>    * javax.resource.spi
> Thanks.
