[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-78?page=comments#action_12415304 ]
Marcel Offermans commented on FELIX-78: --------------------------------------- If you do not export some of the "core" OSGi packages through the system bundle, but install the org.osgi.core bundle to do that you will get all kinds of class cast exceptions (for example when the framework instantiates a bundle activator). To prevent this, I think we should consider always exporting these packages through the system bundle, because the framework won't work very well if we don't. So basically I'm proposing adding a list of packages that will always be exported through the system bundle, regardless of the property. > Modify framework to export proper JRE packages for the execution environment > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-78 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-78 > Project: Felix > Type: Improvement > Components: Framework > Reporter: Richard S.
