If you used any OSGi-related tools like Eclipse PDE... this would catch the problem immediately.

Your point about including version identifiers is very valid and people should learn to take it in heart. It's a common mistake people forget about.

FWIW, The Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) has tools for configuring OSGi manifests. And it works with Felix.

Actually, the real reason we had to introduce Bundle-ManifestVersion is because we changed the semantics of the existing Export-Package header (in R3 it also implied an Import-Package, but in R4 it does not). Otherwise, I agree it would have been smarter to include the manifest version from the beginning. :-)

Also, Wayne makes a good point. BND will also "verify" bundles, but I am not sure if it would have pointed out the issue in this case. Of course, the moral to this story is, don't use Require-Bundle, use Import-Package instead. ;-)
