Now that OSGi's Bundle-ActivationPolicy manifest header is supported, it would be good if uses of Eclipse-LazyStart were identified and marked as deprecated.

Since Eclipse-LazyStart is Eclipse-specific, using it limits you to only running on Equinox, which is clearly not idea.

Also a quick fix would be helpful too, but not necessary:

  Old: Eclipse-LazyStart: true
  New: Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy

  Old: Eclipse-LazyStart: false
  New: <removed>

Hey Chris... I did actually search for duplicates.  But that's OK, you can count this one as a vote.

Today I went through all the Eclipse-LazyStart headers on my project and converted them to Bundle-ActivationPolicy headers, and I really just want a way to stop people living in the past!  ;-)

We work on the milestones so fixing this for 3.3 would be splendid.
