Well, I talked to Richard on the subject yesterday, and apparently, OSGi
runtime is returning the correct jar (i.e 2.4 which is already loaded
and used by Eclipse) whenever a new module (from V3) is requesting to
import the javax.servlet package without a precise version number.
So we need to be more specific in what we ask for since this is really a
environement issue.
In our pure V3+Felix environement, nobody defines or use an old version
for javax.servlet so the runtime returns the correct bundle...
Not true in an Eclipse environment.
I guess it would become the same if one day we would like to run in the
same VM 2 FlassFish servers (1 for Prelude Java EE 5) and one for Java EE 6.
Not likely scenario, (or maybe it is with out extensible containers
design where we could offer different spec level per container?) but...

You rock!
