Hi Scott, 
          
          thank you for your usefull reply to my question.
          
          
          
          I'm not running one of examples within ECF, i'm running a
            product specific for my application. 
          
          My product config is based on features, in one of these
            features there is the dependency from
            org.eclipse.ecfremoteservice.asyncproxy bundle. If i run the
            product from PDE i have a version error because eclipse
            always load the highest version of asyncproxy bundle, not
            the right one for j7 environment. And your detailed answer
            confirms to me that in eclipse PDE there is a bug .
          
          
          
          Before to post my question on ecf mailing list, i tried to
            resolve the problem fixing the exact version of asyncprovy
            bundle (with the correct version and qualifier) into the
            feature config (as suggested also in your answer). But for
            me this solution seems to be wrong, because when i run the
            application Eclipse continue to load the highest version of
            the bundle. It seems like Eclipse consider the version as a
            "minimum version", not a "fixed version". But, if i export
            the product and run the application outside the PDE, the
            right plugin version is loaded and wired.
          
          
          
          For now, the right solution for me seems to be the second
            one: create a product, launch the application with wrong
            version and then modify the created launch config forcing
            the 1.0.0 version of asyncproxy bundle. I try this solution
            and works perfectly.
          
          
          
          At last, another little question: what about the J7 support
            in next ECF releases? I'm not sure that IBM will develop a
            JDK8 for Power8 and linux in short times and it is possible
            that i will have to use J7 also when the new release of ECF
            will be released.
