      Currently the Java Driver can't be used in OSGi containers using a Java version lower than 17, which according to the compatibility matrix should not happen, as it should be compatible from Java 8+.

      The problem is that there is a dependency of bson.codecs.record, which requires Java17+ according to its MANIFEST.MF:

      Require-Capability: osgi.ee;filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=17))"
      

      This change will make the Import-Package attribute for bson.codecs.record optional, meaning when trying to use it in a OSGi container it won't fail because the dependency can't be satisfied in lower versions than 17.

      After building with the proposed change applied, that line in the MANIFEST.MF file will look like this:

      org.bson.codecs.record;resolution:=optional;version="[4.7,5)"
