Interface NativeCodeSpecification

All Superinterfaces:

public interface NativeCodeSpecification
extends VersionConstraint

This class represents a native code specification. A native code specification is different from other specification constraints which typically are resolved against suppliers provided by other bundles. A native code specification supplies it own suppliers which are matched against the platform properties at resolve time and the supplier with the best match is selected.

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients. The StateObjectFactory should be used to construct instances.
