Description BJ Hargrave

Per OSGi bug https://www.osgi.org/members/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1637:

Exceptions from Object.equals and Comparable.compareTo should be caught and converted to false values. This is a spec clarification coming for Core 4.3. 

The current Equinox implementation does not convert the exceptions into false and the filter evaluation terminates abruptly.

BJ, do you have a patch for this?  FrameworkUtil is already fixed in HEAD.  Please release a fix to FilterImpl if you have one.

I released the change for this bug to HEAD. 

I also updated the source for target jsr14: for each loops and generics.
