Body

update attempts like https://github.com/mbien/netbeans/commit/d137490c20133fa0c35e8c50783bd8731e557bc1 result in:

    [junit] WARNING [org.netbeans.core.netigso.Netigso]: Cannot fake bcprov

IIUC this requires support for OSGI 7+. eg. see comment https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/issues/1582#issuecomment-1956113080

I'll put high priority on this since this can cause problems if we have to update something for some reason but we can't.

the mylin removal might also be required to get in first, before we can do anything with the osgi base.

@mbien I think that real problem here is wrong version of equinox (netbinox) I can see that osgi lib contains core in version 8 and cpmn in version 7 which is correct. Also apache felix (libs.felix) has a correct version. So maybe remove equinox will solve the problem here.

@jherkel yes, that was my hope, see https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/9020#issuecomment-3545330910 which had promising results.
