[Springframework-developer] spring-core 2.5.3 has Eclipse OSGi requirements?

[Mark D. <ma...@ta...>]

After seeing the announcement of Spring 2.5.3 this morning I downloaded the
new release to check it out, and found that it fails to load up under the
Apache Felix OSGi container, looking at spring-core's manifest file I find
import references to Eclipse:

Bundle-Description: Spring Framework
Import-Package: org.apache.commons.logging,org.eclipse.core.runtime;co
 mmon=split,resolution:
Bundle-SymbolicName: org.springframework.bundle.spring.core
Originally-Created-By: 10.0-b19 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

Compared to 2.5.2 this is vastly different:

>From what I can tell this would be regarded as a bit of a show stopper...
