- Eclipse 4.36 (2025-06) deployes org.eclipse.pde:org.eclipse.pde.bnd.ui:1.2.200 to maven central and includes the views (Repositories View / Resolutions View ) which were migrated from bndtools as part of the bndtools-PDE-colaboration. - this is the first step now to include the Eclipde PDE views into the bndtools Perspective. - the existing views from bndtools are still there, but not in the perspective anymore (but can be used independently via Eclipse / Window / Show View. They are marked with "EOL" (End of life) in the part title - in future releases we can remove them from bndtools completely as development will happen in Eclipse PDE for those parts Signed-off-by: Christoph Rueger <chrisrueger@gmail.com>

This PR swaps the Repo-Browser / Resolution View with the ones migrated to Eclipse PDE - and uses it in the Bndtools Perpective.

-runee: JavaSE-17to-runee: JavaSE-21in bndtools.core/bndtools.shared.bndrun since the org.eclipse.pde:org.eclipse.pde.bnd.ui:1.2.200 / Eclipse 2025-06 requires this (Eclipse moved Java21 a few releases ago in 2024). I am unsure if this is the right thing to do here. My feeling is it is fine, since the .bndrun files likebndtools.core/bndtools.cocoa.macosx.aarch64.bndrunare for development of bndtools mainly. But to find out we probably need to test a build with a real older Eclipse Release (pre 4.36) which does not have e.g. the OSGi resolution view.
