Problems with com.liferay.portal.kernel.util dependency for 7.1

Hi everyone. I am in the middle of migrating some stuff into 7.1  and just ran into a problem.  In one of my projects I have such dependency:

<dependency>

            <groupId>com.liferay.portal</groupId>

            <artifactId>com.liferay.portal.kernel</artifactId>

            <version>3.26.0</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>

I changed version to the latest - 3.26.0 but when I deploy my bundle I am getting:

Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.liferay.portal.kernel.util; version="[7.3.0,8.0.0)"

So in the most recent available version (according to https://repository.liferay.com/nexus/service/local/repositories/liferay-public-releases/content/com/liferay/portal/com.liferay.portal.kernel/3.26.0/ it was published a couple of days ago) we have old version of packages that does not work with Liferay 7.1 (it has com.liferay.portal.kernel.util; version="8.0.0").

If I have not missed something in my logic please could you let me know when we could expect dependencies for Liferay 7.1?

Thanks a lot.

You should use the API version that shipped with 7.1 (com.liferay:com.liferay.portal.kernel:3.6.0), and not the latest version. In general, especially with OSGi in play, there's no guarantee that the latest version available through Maven is backwards-compatible with the release of Liferay that you're using.

I'm assuming that you checked the the output of mvn dependency:tree, and so you've confirmed that Maven really is using 3.6.0 at compile time, and it isn't getting overridden.

Assuming that's the case, there's something wrong with your Maven configuration that's causing the Bnd tooling to use the wrong version of com.liferay.portal.kernel when building out the OSGi bundle manifest. If you have no idea what that is, you'll need to share a lot more of the project than a snippet of a pom.xml for anyone else to have a chance at guessing.

If sharing your entire project isn't an option, you can either start from a vanilla workspace and slowly add projects to it, or you'll need to craft the manifest by hand. For the latter, you can use the existing MANIFEST.MF as a starting point and just modify the version range for com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.

Sorry - that is my fault. I did not notice that bnd.bnd rewrites some packages..
