Its my understanding that in an R3 Framework unknown attributes on a package imports/exports are ignored by the Framework. I do not think Felix should be throwing an exception in the case of an R3 bundle being installed into an R4 Framework. In fact in an R3 Framework there were no checks at all on the syntax of a bundle manifest at install time. The same should be true when installing an R3 bundle into an R4 Framework, otherwise you run the risk of binary incompatibilty when installing an R3 bundle in R4.
Maybe this should only call for a warning message of some sort? Tom. > Hi David, > > Could it be that you omitted the "Bundle-ManifestVersion" header in > your Bundle Manifest ?
