             Summary: use Import-Package instead of Require-Bundle for slf4j.api [central]
                 Key: JBIDE-23414
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23414
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: hibernate, rpm
    Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM2
            Reporter: Nick Boldt
            Assignee: Koen Aers
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 4.4.2.AM3


Because hibernate tools use Require-Bundle instead of Import-Package to depend on slf4j.api, this project cannot use the rhel implementation (rh-common-java rpm) version of slf4j.api 1.7.4 .jar when installed via rpm on rhel/fedora.

Here's the line that is causing the problem:

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-hibernate/blob/master/plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L34

We need to switch to using Import-Package to that *any* implementation of this package, regardless of *Bundle-SymbolicName*, can be used.
