Here are a couple of reasons a Framework may want to include the ServiceTracker:
1) The Framework uses the ServiceTracker to implement things like the URL Handlers Service Specification. The Framework could have only used ServiceTracker internally and not exported it for others to use. 2) Performance enhancements can be made to ServiceTracker to use Framework specific features. In this case the version of ServiceTracker exported by the Framework should be used for performance reasons. Tom "Richard S.
