What are the problems trying to use > eclipse-equinox ? Thanks, the current eclipse-equinox-osgi package works as OGSi 5 dependency, but unfortunately it does NOT work as OSGi 4 dependency. Building fails with some Java errors when I use the current equinox package (which provides org.eclipse.osgi_3.9.1.v20131014-1715.jar). I didn't see that Equinox satisfies the OSGi 5 part, since I didn't use this package anymore, as soon I recognized that NetBeans does not build with it.
