I'm currently developing a set of bundles using Java SE 6, Maven,
Eclipse, and Q4E. At the command line, everything appears to be working
fine. However, I get some odd errors inside Eclipse (errors concerning
generics and missing symbols which are in JAXB generated code). One of
the good people on the Q4E mailing list said that these errors are
probably due to org.osgi.foundation providing some java.* classes which
are version 1.4 or earlier.
- What is the purpose of org.osgi.foundation since the framework needs
to be run by a JRE that provides the java.* classes?
- Is it possible to create bundles that use Java 5+ features (like
generics, additional collections classes, etc.)?
- How can I correctly build and run bundles using these newer features?
I realize that these are fundamental questions but I appear to be
missing the fundamentals. Is there is documentation available that can
help be get a good understanding of exactly what's going on here?
Thanks,
Tim
