Description Lars Vogel CLA 2021-01-12 05:25:18 EST
Currently the text says: 

ExportPackageSection_desc = Enumerate all the packages that this plug-in exposes to clients.  All other packages will be hidden from clients at all times.

The above is not true for non OSGi clients.

I suggest to change it to:

Exported packages can be accessed by other OSGi components.

Lars, do you think this warrants a N&N since UI has changed?

I think that this is too small for a N&N entry.
Comment 5 Vikas Chandra CLA 2021-01-15 05:42:27 EST
If menu item or something like that has changed, I think N&N should be there. With just description changed, I think it is ok to not have it.

I agree, this is just a description.

Broken manifest

I'm on Build id: I20210116-0340 and this change looks like it broke the manifest editor.
