[jira] [Created] (FELIX-4459) Enforcing parallel Installation of Bundles with same symbolic name

Dominik Süß created FELIX-4459:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Enforcing parallel Installation of Bundles with same symbolic name
                 Key: FELIX-4459
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4459
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Web Console
            Reporter: Dominik Süß


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).
