    Description

      Because livereload tools use Require-Bundle instead of Import-Package to depend on slf4j.api, this project cannot use the rhel implementation (rh-common-java rpm) version of slf4j.api 1.7.4 .jar when installed via rpm on rhel/fedora.

      Here's the line that is causing the problem:

      https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-livereload/blob/44af911aba916f0e4352a3c6a7961986bbb7d1db/tests/org.jboss.tools.livereload.test/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L36

      We need to switch to using Import-Package to that any implementation of this package, regardless of Bundle-SymbolicName, can be used.

          • Blocker - To be worked above all other priorities. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is very high, has no workaround, or the effort for the change is comparatively low. Issues that may be very publicly visible and could generate significant media attention may also drive a higher priority.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. JBDS-4136 Uses constraint violation - org.slf4j.api vs. slf4j.api

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
