Hey Robert, I think we need some more information here. You should not have to mess with the system packages settings etc. I've been using javax and org.xml etc for years and have never had to do this. What Alex says may be required in cases where you are going for internal/private JRE classes (e.g., com.sun) but the system bundle exports all these packages for you so all you have to do is import the packages in your bundles. This is the way the OSGi spec expects things to work. That is, you should Import-Package for all packages you need other than java.* (which you get for free). If you do this you should get all the right compile errors etc.
