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

Hi Neil,
thanks for your answer.
That means, that if a consumer bundle imports any packages but defines a requier-bundle with a version constraint to 2.8.0 it may became
classes loaded from a bundle with version 2.7.3? At least the console shows me that both versions are wired.
We also have LinkageErrors and ClassCastExceptions in eclipse with this scenario.
I also noticed that, this behavior depends on the installation order of bundles with the same version.
