<td class="title">Deprecation of Equinox bundles</td>
<td class="content">
<p>
The following Equinox bundles are deprecated for removal:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<code>org.eclipse.osgi.services</code><br/>
Its content has been replaced by the official OSGi bundles published to Maven-Central and it only reexports these <code>org.osgi.service.*</code> bundles.
Consumers are encouraged to replace their requirements on the bundle <code>org.eclipse.osgi.services</code> by imports of the <code>org.osgi.service.*</code> packages used, already now.
This allows the OSGi runtime to choose any suitable provider of the package that is available.
</li>
<li>
<code>org.eclipse.equinox.device</code><br/>
This implementation of the <code>org.osgi.service.device</code> service is not known to have any users and did not receive updates in the past.
It is deprecated for removal from future releases without replacement.
In case there are users after all, they can continue to use past releases, use an alternative implementation or get in contact with the Equinox team.
</li>
</ul>
