Requires element
Describes a dependency on a provider for the current component or package.
Parents
Bundle, Package, Module, Fragment, Provides
Remarks
This element declares a dependency on any product that uses the Provides element. If that product is uninstalled before a product that requires it, the uninstall will err or warn the user that other products are installed which depend on that product. This behavior can be modified by changing the attribute values on the Requires element.
If you do not nest this element under a Provides element, you must specify the @Id attribute so that it can be referenced by a RequiresRef element nested under a Provides element.
