Moreover there's nothing wrong with Eclipse-BuddyPolicy (except it's Eclipse-specific). It should be deprecated - at least as far as I know. Whether it's good idea to include this Equinox specific header is different question. My personal state is to include it because * other OSGi frameworks will ignore this header * for Equinox OSGi it doesn't mean any significant load * users wishing to go "buddy classloading policy" way will not have to edit manually unpack JAR, modify MANIFEST.MF headers and pack it as JAR again.

It contains two child repositories, called "proper" and "beagle". The "beagle" repo publishes the logback-beagle plugin which is a console-like view for logging. The "proper" repository publishes bundles for slf4j-api, logback-core and logback-classic. OSGi bundles still need a way to pass logback-classic a configuration file. Several technical for achieving this are explained by Libor Jelinek at [1]. I think logback-classic should support Eclipse buddy policy. Would you have any objections if I added "Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered" to logback-classic.jar's MANIFEST ?
