M5a and earlier: I have twice seen org.eclipse.jdt.annotation appear in the Required-Bundles of many of my plugins, which is kind of irritating since, it doesn't affect me, just my consumers who are not yet on M5 or even Juno.

It appears that something is either promoting the source-time org.eclipse.jdt.annotation dependencies to run-time, or that a refactoring of types across plugins is triggering this. Unfortunately reverting to GIT HEAD and repeating did not reproduce the problem, so no accurate repro just a definite problem and some suspicions. When this occurs no fewer than 7 plugins are corrupted.

Does anyone have a hint of a theory how this could be triggered
by the bundle itself?

Once we know a value for the variable "something" we might appropriately
redirect the bug to PDE, JDT/UI or whatever :)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Probably went away now that org.eclipse.jdt.annotation 2.x has to be a required bundle.
