--------------------------------------

Hello Karl,

I'm getting back to this old issue (I was busy so far).

So, I have committed the patch last Jun (and I actually don't need the other fix from  FELIX-6284). Then I think we are now ready to go for a release.

So, are you fine if I do it now ? I will use version *0.2.2*, is it ok ?

however, there is one remaining question: it's easy to integrate OSGi R8 API,  so may I do it before doing the release ? To add support for R8, we only need to do the following:
 * the org.osgi:osgi.core:8.0.0 can just be included in the felix connect jar
 * the ServiceReference.adapt() method must be implemented.
 * the pom.xml has to be updated to use java8 (because the org.osgi:osgi.core:8.0.0 jar is requiring java 8)
 * finally, the Copyright year should be updated in the LICENSE file

So, are you ok if I add support for OSGI R8 before doing the release ?

PS: please let me know in case you prefer to do the release yourself ?

thanks.

> The Felix Connect library seems to be almost ready for OSGi R7 support.
> At least, modifying the project's pom in order to depend on org.osgi:osgi.core:7.0.0 allows to use recent declarative service, configadmin, metatype, etc ...
> There is one minor issue: the support for FrameworkWiringDTO is missing (even if it's not really useful in the context of felix connect): in the following code, the adapt method returns null:
> {code:java}
> Bundle system = _ctx.getBundle(0);
> FrameworkWiringDTO wiring = system.adapt(FrameworkWiringDTO.class);
> {code}
