Description Thomas Watson

Currently p2 can only run on and manage an Equinox framework.  Work will be done to allow p2 to run on and manage other OSGi framework implementations (e.g. Apache Felix).

An obvious dependency here is that we need to remove explicit references to the equinox implementation of frameworkadmin. We should just be using the generic FrameworkAdmin service which can be implemented differently for each framework type.

I'm not sure this has ever been done, but Felix is being used in most places now I believe.
