[jetty-dev] Re: osgi manifest review

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

sure,

we are trying to sort out some unintended consequences of the version
[7.0,8.0) change now...it seems to have wanted to apply that across
all dependencies so something is amiss in our usage of the bundle
plugin I guess...

always something to sort out.  We might just go with M0 without that
upper range and add in the upper bound once we sort this out...but
that shouldn't be a terrible thing this early in the game
