---------------------------------
Assignee: Tom Watson
> Issues with uses capability checking with split packages and reexport
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-6212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-6212
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Resolver
> Affects Versions: resolver-1.16.0
> Reporter: Tom Watson
> Assignee: Tom Watson
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: resolver-2.0.2
>
>
> First found in Eclipse bug
> https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=559118
> If a bundle A reexports multiple bundles (B and C) that export the same
> package Y (which is a split package) and another bundle D requires A and
> exports package X and package X uses Y then issues occur resolving bundles
> that require package X and only get wired to one of the parts of the split
> package Y.
> The scenario is horrible and uses one of the most obnoxious trifecta of
> "features" of OSGi which is the use of a split package, require-bundle and a
> visibility of reexport. When determining the compatibility of the used
> packages the resolver is supposed to detect if the used packages are subsets
> of each other. The logic is getting all messed up here because each reexport
> is making the used package set of sources only include a single part of the
> package. This can lead to cases where the subset check fails.
> I have a testcase and fix ready to go.
