| and <a xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" href="http://www2.osgi.org/Specifications/HomePage?section=2" target="_top">OSGi | |
| R5.x</a> (though R4.1 and even R4.0 might work) or above. For JDK < 1.7, consider using Gemini Blueprint 1.x. | |
| For JDK < 1.5, consider using Spring Dynamic Modules 1.x. | |
| </p><p> | |
| Bundles deployed for use with Gemini Blueprint should specify | |
| <code class="literal">"Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2"</code> in their manifest (require OSGi R4 behaviour). | |
| Note that for OSGi 4.2 specific functionality (such as the Blueprint Container), | |
| an appropriate container needs to be used. | |
