IMHO, the org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime not only needs proper versions
on its exported packages but also uses directives. Convincing Igor that
this is needed, however, is difficult, as long as I can't prove that the
fault isn't Code Recommenders's. (After all, we are the only project
that has this kind of problems -- but then again, we are AFAIK the only
project besides m2e in the release train using Aether.)

Thus, I'd really like to understand why Equinox does the things it does
first, before approaching Igor again.

You've done more than enough. Thank you. (FWIW, the reason I keep
posting here is more to keep you informed and in-the-loop than to push
work your way.)

Best wishes,

Andreas
