Description Erdal Karaca CLA 2010-11-16 13:00:22 EST 
When working in 3.6, the core plugins will not work anymore as there are quite minor dependencies on equinox 3.7 in org.eclipse.e4.core.internal.contexts.osgi.ContextDebugHelper.getDebugger()

Generally speaking, we don't attempt to support running arbitrary bundles taken from 3.7/4.1 streams in older releases such as 3.6. I.e., referencing OSGi R4.3 APIs here is quite reasonable. We could release this patch, but there is nothing stopping these references from reappearing later in the development cycle.
Comment 3 Oleg Besedin CLA 2010-11-18 09:33:39 EST 
If I do this change, I'd be getting a compiler warning when run against the current OSGi bundle:

   ServiceReference is a raw type. References to generic type 
   ServiceReference<S> should be parameterized...
