-------------------------------------------------------------
GROOVY-6491 suggests removing {{Eclipse-BuddyPolicy}}. It was added in 2008.
See also GROOVY-5571:
bq. Eclipse-BuddyPolicy is not deprecated, it is used to specify the buddy
classloading policies for a bundle, it is Eclipse specific and OSGi does not
know anything about this (It will be ignored for other implementation than
equinox)
I guess we should check whether equinox still needs/uses it.
