Package Capability and Requirement Namespace.

A resource provides zero or more package capabilities (this is, exported packages) and requires zero or more package requirements (that is, imported packages).

This class defines the names for the attributes and directives for this namespace. All unspecified capability attributes are of type String and are used as arbitrary matching attributes for the capability. The values associated with the specified directive and attribute keys are of type String, unless otherwise indicated.

Unless otherwise noted, all directives specified on the Export-Package header are visible in the capability and all directives specified on the Import-Package and DynamicImport-Package headers are visible in the requirement.

Constant Field Values

RESOLUTION_DYNAMIC

public static final String RESOLUTION_DYNAMIC
The directive value identifying a dynamic requirement resolution type. A dynamic resolution type indicates that the requirement is resolved dynamically at runtime (such as a dynamically imported package) and the resource will be resolved without the requirement being resolved.
