Re: [equinox-dev] Exporting packages without a version

This is a common misconception. There is no connection between bundle version and exported package versions. A bundle that imports using Import-Package will only care about the exported package versions, and a bundle that requires using Require-Bundle will only care about the Bundle-Version.

Since Import-Package is the correct way to consume dependencies, it’s a significant problem that so many Eclipse bundles fail to version their packages.
