OSGI metadata import-package version ranges are too narrow

      For example: Install infinispan-core and inifinispan-commons into an OSGI container with JGroups 3.5.1.Final, rather than 3.5.0.Final as "required". The infinispan bundles will fail to resolve.

    Description

      The OSGI import-package statement is specifying specific dependencies on a number of packages, rather than a range. This makes it impossible to install Infinispan 7 in any OSGI environment that doesn't have the exact versions of the dependencies present.

      Normally, the version range for dependencies would range from the major:minor:revision of the minimum requirement, up to the next major version (exclusive).

      I've copied and pasted the "Imported Packages" output below from my Apache Felix bundle console for the infinispan-core bundle.

      The bundle will not resolve because the versions of javax.transaction, JGroups, jboss-marshalling and jboss-logging are slightly newer than those required.

      The org.osgi.service.blueprint dependency is also dubious – I'm not sure you usually have a runtime dependency on this package (even if you use Blueprint).

      For example, the following statement...

      org.jboss.marshalling;version="[1.4.4.Final,1.4.4.Final]"

      ...should probably be...

      org.jboss.marshalling;version="[1.4.4.Final,2)"

      ...in order to comply with standard semantic versioning policy.
