Install Bndtools 4.0.0

You can install Bndtools via the [Marketplace] or directly install from the [Update Site]

Enhancements

• Bndtools now requires Java 8 as the base Java runtime.
• Added bndtools.pde plugin and feature for plugin development using Bndtools.
• Fixed more file locking issues on Windows. See #1682 for known issues with other Eclipse plugins locking files on Windows.
• Builder will update Bnd class path container when bnd file changes.

For Bnd 4.0.0 changes, see https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/wiki/Changes-in-4.0.0.

Known Issues

• Removed support for bnd Component annotations. For OSGi enRoute users this can create an error on the Service-Component header in the cnf/ext/enroute.bnd file. Just remove this header. (This will be better handled in 4.1.0)
• Removed aQute.bnd.deployer.repository.FixedIndexedRepo. This can be replaced with aQute.bnd.repository.osgi.OSGiRepository. (This will be better handled in 4.1.0)
