I'm using the eclipse platform 3.6 and we don't have any requirement to update it. However, the 3.6 version implements the OSGI spec 4.2 and we need to use a 3rd-party lib that requires OSGi 4.3, which is implemented in eclipse 3.7.

Can I simply update the bundle org.eclipse.osgi to the 3.7.x version?
Looking to the dependencies it seems yes, but I'm wondering if is there any incompatibility or some dependency in the equinox bundles that is not visible at compile time.

In case someone is aware of some issue with this I would appreciate any advice to avoid problems during runtime, which are harder to solve.

Equinox org.eclipse.osgi is the framework itself. It has no dependencies outside of the VM. That being said 3.7 is almost 3 releases old. You should consider moving up to Kepler SR2 (3.9.2) for org.eclipse.osgi which implements the OSGi R5 core specification.

There should be no compatibility issues upgrading from 3.6 to 3.9.

Thanks for the advice.
The main reason for choosing 3.7.1 was simply because it's already in the maven central repository, and it's sufficient for what I need. But of course we can add the latest version to our private repository.
I'm wondering what is the criteria for the versions to be available in the maven central repository...

You're suggesting to use the 3.9.2 which is part of 4.3.2 platform but I see that it was not released yet. According to this page it should be released tomorrow Smile
