Re: [osgi-technology-dev] Proposal to Transfer the OSGi-Test Subproject to the OSGi-Specification Project

Dear team,

I pray that you are all well.

I support this move - it makes sense to avoid circular dependencies.

I am pleased with what has been achieved with the osgi-test project and I think this latest move is a bit "tick of approval" for the hard work of all those involved. It is the strongest indication yet that the project is "all grown up" now.

Blessings,

Subject: [osgi-technology-dev] Proposal to Transfer the OSGi-Test Subproject to the OSGi-Specification Project

Dear OSGi Specification and OSGi Technology Project members,

I hope this message finds you well.

As discussed during our joint meeting on October 21, 2024, in Karlsruhe (see meeting notes), we are proposing the transfer of the osgi-test subproject and GitHub repository from the OSGi-Technology Project to the OSGi-Specification Project.

The main reason for this transfer is that the osgi-test project is a critical dependency for all TCKs and is more closely aligned with the work of the OSGi-Specification Project. Additionally, this move will help ensure that dependencies between the projects only flow in one direction, from OSGi-Specification to OSGi-Technology, thus preventing circular dependencies.

Meeting excerpt:
```
OSGi Test
This should be "given" to the specification project. It's a hard dependency of all the TCKs and we wish to avoid a dependency from org.osgi on org.eclipse.osgi-technology. The OSGi Test project will still be managed as an externally available resource.
```

We would appreciate any feedback or questions you may have regarding this proposal. If there are no objections, we aim to move forward with this transfer soon.
I also opened an Issue in the emo-office of the eclipse-fdn:
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/emo/-/issues/820

Thank you for your attention and continued support.

Best regards,

Stefan Bischof
