Not sure this is a new thing but I have the following effect with 6.3.0 RC1:

I have two bundles:

  • my.api.bundle containing interface
  • my.impl.bundle containing impl class

When in the bnd.bnd of my.impl.bundle I use:

  • my.api.bundle;version=snapshot
  • or my.api.bundle;version=latest
  • or my.api.bundle

then the type-hierarchy in the my.api.bundle of the Service does not show the implementations.

But when I use

  • my.api.bundle;version=project

then the impl class shows up as expected.

I just read in the release notes that there has been some work.
But maybe it is also related to Version=project vs. version=latest and I never noticed so far.

Is this expected? Or an eclipse issue?

Thanks for reporting the problem. This was also reported yesterday in Type hierarchy not displayed · Issue #5250 · bndtools/bnd · GitHub which I am looking into.
