Re: [e4-dev] x-friends

x-friends means the package is not API,
but we want to allow certain other plugins to access it without getting
API tools warnings. It is really equivalent to x-internal for most consumers.
So, if you see a package that has x-friends that you believe should be
API, speak up now so it can be fixed.

Hello,

I noticed in the commits in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=403189 that
we have x-friends directives in the MANIFEST.MF. 

So far I believed that platform does either use x-internal
for marking API as internal or provisional. What is the reasoning behind
the usage of  x-friends?
