With Karaf 4.4.8, we no longer need to import osgi.core, but could also import more selectively.
This was introduced here:

apache/karaf@b522396

@wborn WDYT, do we need to take this over? I did in this commit for the compile side, but not yet for runtime and test.

Thanks for taking care of the big list of upgrades! 👍 It also worked well after doing some testing. 😃

Thanks, @wborn.
This time we were really lucky. Doing the testing the pre-release versions, I added a few dependency upgrades to Karaf and finally discovered an annoying bug in the logging.
Finally, my build job which can take any Karaf version from git and builds a testable openHAB distro was also very helpful... It does all the resolver stuff on Linux again and prints the results :-)

Lets's see what Karaf 4.5 brings. We can finally expect the upgrade of our outdated Jetty...
