Hi,
Eclipse wrongly says you can't have a - in the bundle symbolic name,
according to OSGi specs this is perfectly legal.
The error:
Bundle symbolic name contains illegal characters. Legal characters are
A-Z a-z 0-9 . _
According to OSGi spec 4.1 section 3.5.2 Bundle-SymbolicName has syntax:
Bundle-SymbolicName ::= symbolic-name ( ';' parameter ) *
and in 1.3.2 we see the following:
symbolic-name ::= token('.'token)*
token ::= ( alphanum | '_' | '-')+
I have already filed an bug for this on eclipse 3.3, but on that version
it was "only" a warning, but with eclipse 3.4 it has become an error.
For my projects this is a serious blocker for using eclipse 3.4, as a
lot of external bundle use dashes in their names. I also have found no
way to disable this error.
I have already filed a bug, but I am also posting it here as I think
this is a serious eclipse bug, preventing us to upgrade, while we are
doing nothing wrong.
See:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=197503
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=239777
I hope this gets the attention I think it deserves.
Regards,
Wouter
