Bnd/Bndtools 7.2.1

  • Status: Released 7.2.1
  • Release date: 2025/01/12

7.2.1 is a patch release for issues discovered after release of 7.2.0

Installation

See the Installation (Stable Releases) section of the README and the Installation page for where to find Bnd/Bndtools.

Changes

Most significant fix is added Junit Platform 1.13+ Support (JUnit Jupiter and Platform to 5.14.2/1.14.2) which was a Known Issue in 7.2.0. We hope this reduces some pain in the build scripts of projects who depend on bnd's JUnit integration (biz.aQute.tester.junit-platform). Similar some dependencies where made optional in ‎org.bndtools.templating which has been a problem for the Eclipse IDE project (since bnd is also used by Eclipse IDE).

Also the sonatype release support just added in 7.2.0 has been immediately deprecated again. Please don't use the code it in custom code.
