3.5.2 endgame topics

• A few changes have been going in
• There are a few outstanding bugs that will be looked at
• Should coordinate with ECF. Pascal will open a bug and follow up

Uses use

• a few projects out there are using "uses"
• and a few have packages that export packages that are included in the VM
• there is a clash between require-bundle and the uses.
• for example, the core.runtime bundle reexports OSGi which exports all the JRE classes
• look at e4's use of core.runtime (they should not be using much/any) see bug 271834
• possibly look at duplicating core.runtime to core.runtime.legacy to eliminate the re-exports

Build breakage wrt aspectj repo

• Aspect J team updates their repo rather then adding to it so our builds fail
• this causes problems for the weaving work in Equinox
• need to have stable repos
• there is a requirement to have a retention policy for each project as to how they manage dev builds
• Equinox team needs to set the example here to ensure that people can be successful in similar situations
