Description

Currently bundles are always installed or updated by the OSGi Installer's BundleInstallTask. This should be changed to take certain bundle manifest headers into account:

• The Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment header should be respected
• The new Bundle-Requirement headers should be respected

Support for the first header is available on all framework while the second header can only be supported by newer platforms. The implementation should support both options if supported by the platform and fall back to the first if the second is not supported.
