OK, I still think it would be better in such cases to avoid having both a
stable and an unstable osgi version. Just put the osgi packaging in the
stable version - should not cause many problems at this point.

It was unstable for users running arch but who unmasked Eclipse, which is a
likely scenario (I myself run arch but for certain packages not yet in
stable, unmask them)

Thanks, I will also change the JDK requirement to >=1.5 from 1.5 as I've had
reports of success building on 1.6 (without changing anything in the ebuild)
