Why is @EventTopic in an internal package? [message #1746624]

Hi,

the annotation @EventTopic is contained in the bundle (and package) org.eclipse.e4.core.di.extensions. The bundle's manifest exports this package with x-internal:=true. Obviously, this leads to discouraged access warnings when I use @EventTopic in my code. Is there a reason for this or is this simply a bug? I could not find any issues in the bug tracker or any explanations on the internet.

Best regards,

Stephan

x-internal means that it's not API and so its definition may change. We've had some discussion about changing this particular annotation as it exposes the OSGi Event class which makes it hard to use outside of an OSGi context.
