@Deprecated @Retention(CLASS) @Target({ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE}) public @interface RequireCapability
Deprecated.seeorg.osgi.annotation.bundle.Requirement
The Bundle’s Require-Capability header
Typically used as a meta-annotation, i.e. an annotation placed on another annotation, which we will call the user-defined annotation. When the user-defined annotation is found on a class within the bundle, an entry in the
Require-Capability
header is added. The filter expression of the requirement may be parameterised with values from the user-defined annotation. For example, given the following declarations:@RequireCapability( ns = "com.acme.engine", effective = "active", filter = "(com.acme.engine=${type})") public @interface Engine { String type(); } @Engine(type = "wankel") public class Vehicle { ... }
... the following header will be generated in MANIFEST.MF:
Require-Capability:\ com.acme.engine; \ effective:=active; \ filter:="(com.acme.engine=wankel)",\ ...

effective
java.lang.String effective
Deprecated.Specifies the time a Requirement is considered, either 'resolve' (default) or another name. The OSGi framework resolver only considers Requirements without an effective directive or effective:=resolve. Other Requirements can be considered by an external agent. Additional names for the effective directive should be registered with the OSGi Alliance. See OSGi Reference Page- Default:
- "resolve"

filter
java.lang.String filter
Deprecated.A filter expression that is asserted on the Capabilities belonging to the given namespace. The matching of the filter against the Capability is done on one Capability at a time. A filter like(&(a=1)(b=2))
matches only a Capability that specifies both attributes at the required value, not two capabilties that each specify one of the attributes correctly. A filter is optional, if no filter directive is specified the Requirement always matches.- Default:
- ""

resolution
Resolution resolution
Deprecated.A mandatory Requirement forbids the bundle to resolve when the Requirement is not satisfied; an optional Requirement allows a bundle to resolve even if the Requirement is not satisfied. No wirings are created when this Requirement cannot be resolved, this can result in Class Not Found Exceptions when the bundle attempts to use a package that was not resolved because it was optional.- Default:
- aQute.bnd.annotation.headers.Resolution.mandatory
