Thanks for getting back quickly. Can it please happen by end of August?
AFAICT, Felix is most of the time in a stable state, and you can cut your own
intermediate release pretty easily.
Niclas is correct. I never try to commit anything to the framework
unless it is stable. However, the current level of fragment support is
stable, but not complete enough to be reasonably useful (in particular,
it does not handle update/refresh correctly). I have a commit in my
workspace that hooks the current level of fragment support into the
update/refresh process, but I am waiting to clean up a few things before
I commit it. Hopefully, it will land in the trunk this week.
At that point, then you could follow Niclas' advice and roll your own if
we are not ready. But, I expect that we should be pretty close to that
timeframe (i.e., end of Aug/beginning of Sept) on our release. I was
debating how much we should put in before doing a release, but we can
just freeze the features sooner so we can try to get the release out sooner.
Perhaps the better question is, what level of fragment support do you
need? After my next commit, it should be fairly stable to use fragments
to extend the bundle class path of a host bundle and work properly with
update/refresh. It will not, however, work with native libraries yet,
nor the entry-related methods, nor be able to import/export. If you read
the related bug, you can see my proposed plan of attach, which is pretty
much implementing things in this order.
So, if you have a specific need, now is the time to speak up.
