Description Meera Nair

Server files reference  
org.osgi.service.packageadmin.PackageAdmin, 
which is deprecated. Should be replaced with 
org.osgi.framework.wiring package.PackageAdmin.

Files referencing this package are:-
org/eclipse/orion/server/configurator/ConfiguratorActivator.java
org/eclipse/core/internal/runtime/InternalPlatform.java
org/eclipse/core/runtime/Platform.java
org/eclipse/core/tests/harness/BundleTestingHelper.java
org/eclipse/orion/server/tests/ServerTestsActivator.java

Investigating.

Guess PackageAdmin is left as is for the
 getBundles(String , String) method.
The org.osgi.framework.wiring package does not have a corresponding method.

I did look into this and came to the same conclusion. There is no simple replacement for PackageAdmin that I know of. I don't think there is any immediate risk of PackageAdmin being removed from Equinox though. Is there a particular reason you are concerned about this deprecation or just looking for somewhere to get involved?

Not planning to do anything here.
