Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment is deprecated and should not be used

[vogella]

Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment is deprecated in the OSGi spec (see http://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.core/7.0.0/framework.module.html#framework.module.bree) but PDE still actively adds this and uses it for the creation of new plug-ins.

Should be update PDE to use the non-deprecated version or is this just to much work with additional value?

I wouldn't do anything until this is resolved:

eclipse-equinox/p2#64

And that looks super challenging to fix after the fact.

Even then, what value will this provide what percentage of the consumers versus simply being disruptive for most consumers who really don't care and really won't get additional value from the alternative, which actually doesn't really work quite properly given the issue above.

Isn't this a duplicate of #140?

Before a discussion is started I suggest to choose one of both issues to not split it up.
