@merks Which category.xml are these, e.g. org.apache.xerces, being moved to? And how I do correctly add the Jakarta servlet and servlet-jsp 6.1 API bundles going forward?

I believe those were already present. But I"m on my travel computer now so it's hard to check this week.

Generally you add bundles by specifying a dependency in the MANIFEST.MF and including them in the/category.xml if/when necessary. (Personally I more often define a dependencies feature and centralize the includes there but that's equivalent to including it in a category.xml for the purpose of composing the necessary content in an update site.)

BTW, you can also use imports in features, if necessary, but it's rarely necessary because bundles generally specify all the necessary requirements. But imports don't help you ensure that the content is included in an update site just that the content is installed when the feature is installed...
