Description Thomas Watson

The OSGi R4.3 core spec now has support for Provide/Require-Capability for specifying generic capabilities and requirements on these capabilities.  PDE should be updated to support these headers.

I think there are two aspects to this bug.

1) The Equinox resolver supports these new requirements.  PDE should be updated to recognize when a generic requirement is not resolved.  This implies placing error markers on the manifest etc.

2) The Dependency tab could be enhanced to allow one to specify requirements on a capability.  The Runtime tab could also be enhanced to allow one to specify capabilities.  Syntax highlighting could also be enhanced for these new headers in the source view.

Consider for 3.8 based on what resources are available.

We already support adding these entries to the MANIFEST.MF directly but the enhancements which Tom asked for are missing.

Moving out of 4.6
