Package version number against bundle version No

[sudheerk84]

When i have a bundle version number for example 10.0.0

and I don't mention any version number in export package -

Example :

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-Version: 10.0.0
Bundle-Name: PackageExporter
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-SymbolicName: PackageExporter
Export-Package: com.test


I see through package admin that they are exported at version 0.0.0 and not 10.0.0

So i assume that there is no relationship between version of bundle and version of exported package.

Also when I have many packages to be exported , is there a simple way to export it using bundles versions

OR

Should I append version in every exported package

Yes, there is no relationship between the bundle and the package version. It's fairly often that a bundle version increases while the bundle package doesn't (for example the new bundle provides only extra resources or extra packages).
See the OSGi spec for a detailed discussion on these topics.
