Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-2176:
------------------------------------------

I tend to agree with Peter that adding a default Export-Package is not a very 
good idea.

It is probably only acceptable idea for bundles exporting anything. But for 
bundles which contain some exports and some private packages, the bundle 
version will increase on each release for modified private packages and then 
increasing the export version automatically just sounds a bad idea.

So I would argue to not do it (and not even in the interest of being 
pragmatism), because it IMHO will generate more pain than relieve.

For example: In our commercial application we currently don't use much 
Export-Package versioning (yes, this is another issue we have to solve). Having 
automatic export versions will completely prevent us from properly updating 
bundles.

> Peter doesn't seem to release bnd to public repos, but does have an 
> accessible private repo.  The bundle plugin can copy bnd into itself so users 
> don't have to have peter's secret stash configured in their nexus repo 
> manager.
> Patch does this and upgrades to latest bnd.  I can't see any reason to keep 
> the copied Builder source -- plugin passes tests and appears to work without 
> it -- so I removed it.  You'll need to run
> svn rm    src/main/java/aQute/lib/osgi/Builder.java
> Also the code in   
> src/main/java/org/apache/felix/bundleplugin/PackageVersionAnalyzer.java 
> _really_ doesn't compile any more and I suspect the functionality has moved 
> into bnd.  However I can't actually tell what its trying to do; I commented 
> it out.  If this functionality is actually in bnd then removing the class 
> would be a good idea.
