Description Markus Kuppe CLA 2013-07-02 11:28:25 EDT 
bug #379023 and #361877 are both fixed, thus the explicit dependency towards "org.eclipse.equinox.event" should be removed. It breaks e.g. scenarios where one wants to use a distributed EventAdmin implementation [1].

We'll need to find a way to remove the equinox.event dependency but still allow the RCP Mail template to launch as is.

Is the problem that PDE doesn't know how to use the p2 generic capabilities?

It breaks all 3.x RCP templates

Does an optional bundle import solve the template problems as well? It would be a work around that allows all consumers (read "me") to function.

I just ran a test and it looks like making the  bundle optional will allow the 3.x RCP apps to launch.  If that works for you, Markus, I'll put it in.
