With RAP 3.2 M5 we start shipping the Apache Felix SCR bundle as a replacement for the Equinox DS bundle as part of our Equinox Target Platform feature.

The Equinox 4.7 M5 New&Noteworthy contains a section about how the Eclipse Platform team made this change:

  https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.7/M5/#Equinox

In comparison to Platform/Equinox, we decided in RAP to _replace_ the DS bundle with the SCR one (instead of shipping both). So far we didn't experience any problems with that approach, but we may reconsider this in following milestones depending on (a) the experience of the Equinox team, and (b) tests with the RAP e4 incubator project.

The org.eclipse.rap.equinox.target.feature has been updated with the following two changes:

  org.eclipse.equinox.ds   -> org.apache.felix.scr
  org.eclipse.equinox.util -> org.eclipse.osgi.util
