Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-4120:
----------------------------------------

A little bit of research on the web:

This article mentions both Export-Package and Import-Package:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-03-2008/jw-03-osgi1.html?page=3

This article also says that importing must be done correctly:
http://www.osgi.org/blog/2007/04/importance-of-exporting-nd-importing.html

This article presents the Export-Package information from the Eclipse POV:
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/bundle_manifest.html

It seems like the simplest change would be to put the identical Export-Package
line into derbyclient.jar as is used for derby.jar.

I don't understand what this would *fix*, but I can at least prototype this and
verify that it doesn't *break* anything (that is revealed by the regression 
tests).

> derbyclient.jar is not a complete OSGi bundle

>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Eclipse Plug-in, Services
>    Affects Versions: 10.4.2.0
>         Environment: OSGi
>            Reporter: JJ Snyder

> The manifest in derbyclient.jar is incomplete for usage in OSGi.  There are 
> no packages exported.  This appears to only be a problem in standalone 
> equinox (outside of eclipse).  Note that I did not try other OSGi containers.
> The fix is relatively simple.  Adding the Export-Package manifest header 
> should take care of the problem.
