Re: [equinox-dev] Support for Declarative Services 1.3 (OSGi release 6)

2016-09-28 Thread Thomas Watson 
For Oxygen I plan to replace the Equinox DS implementation with the Felix 
DS (SCR) implementation.  See

Sent by:equinox-dev-boun...@eclipse.org



Hello,

It seems that the equinox DS bundle currently does not support OSGi 
release 6 standard (DS 1.3).
Are there any plans to upgrade?

In particular I am interested in support for "Component property Types" 
(OSGi enterprise 6, 112.8.2, page 216)
