Hello,

Regarding version ranges, such as [1.0.0,2.0.0), is there any way to
construct an object representation of that range in code with Felix / OSGi
in general, and then test if a given Version object matches?  Something
along the lines of FrameworkUtil.createFilter(string)...

This is all done automatically for package dependencies, but I'm looking
for a solution in a different area.

The OSGi-based product I'm working on uses OSGi for packing code, that's
fine.  However, the user interface associated is packaged up in ZIP files
that the application loads, containing templates, CSS, and JavaScript.  The
JavaScript files in particular can have dependencies on specific versions
of specific libraries, such as jQuery 1.9.x or 2.x+, Underscore, Backbone,
to name but a few.   The non-technical suppliers of these ZIP files aren't
skilled in defining OSGi manifests to express these dependencies but they
can choose to pick a library and a version from a list.  These JavaScript
libraries are made available as URLs that are injected into the templates
based on these declared dependencies.

So I'd like to be able to reuse this logic at an application level, instead
of reimplementing it (for the principle, even if it's not a huge challenge).

Is there any such solution available with Felix?

Thanks,
Christopher
