Whats the difference between using two standards ?

Eclipse plug-ins are OSGi bundles using Eclipse extension registry. Therefore
- If you develop plain OSGi project, use OSGi Framework choice
- If you develop Eclipse plug-in it's very likely you will need use extensions, use Eclipse version X.Y as target.
This radio also controls further wizard pages (plug-in options and available templates) and available tools within PDE.
OSGi Framework dropdown options Equinox and Standard controls only whether plug-in (bundle) MANIFEST.MF file will be augmented with Eclipse-specific headers like Eclipse-LazyStart, x-friends etc.
