Yes, this appears to be a bug that should be fixed. Please open an
Equinox bug.

What's more is that we actually used this not only for equinox, but also
for other osgi bundles using framework properties (and also relied on the
null state).

Hey all,
I think I found a regression in equinox when using the framework API.
:(
The scenario is quite simple to reproduce.
java.util.ServiceLoader<FrameworkFactory> loader =
java.util.ServiceLoader.load(FrameworkFactory.class);
Map<String, String> properties = new HashMap<String, String>();
properties.put("blah", null);
Framework newFramework =
loader.iterator().next().newFramework(properties);
// fails with NPE
This would work fine in every previous version of equinox.
Rationale
So, this might sounds like it's a silly thing to want to do in the first
place.
However, one very good reason for this is because it's the only way to
"set" (or rather "unset") certain equinox flags due to the fact that the
only check causing them to be unset is a null check (which if I can't set
it null will obviously never be the case).
Again, before Luna, this always worked.
