* Package name : felix-osgi-compendium

Description : Java OSGi interfaces - Compendium module
OSGi, for Open Services Gateway initiative framework, is a module system and
service platform for the Java programming language.
.
This package contains OSGi Compendium for Release 4 Version 4.2.
On top of OSGi Core, this provide additionnal services to help dynamic
components.
.
The Apache Felix OSGi Compendium sub-project simply repackages the
standard OSGi Compendium API packages provided by the OSGi Alliance
into a Maven module. There is no runtime dependencies between this package
and Felix Framework itself, so that this library can be used without Felix.
Right now, Felix Framework packages in Debian depends on libequinox-osgi-java
(Eclipse Equinox OSGi framework) in order to just have OSGi simple interfaces.
Since we have netbeans depending on felix-framework, then Netbeans source
package actually depends on Eclipse... [1]
By providing those felix-osgi-* packages, my goal is to have a separate,
simplier, dependency chains for Netbeans.
