With "version", i meant release version of Equinox, not the eclipse.com
version vs. Packaged version of Fedora. The problem is, that Netbinox
is intended to be built with Equinox 3.8.0, but Fedora ships Equinox
3.9.0, which causes complication errors.

One problem is for example, that the constructor of
org.eclipse.osgi.baseadaptor.bundlefile.DirBundleFile takes different
arguments in Equinox 3.8.0 and 3.9.0.
