See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTDOC/03+GeoTools+and+Eclipse+or+OSGi for a discussion of workarounds (I added some new material last night.)

Have a look at Bundle.getResource(). It seems to me that the loader looks for the resource in the bundle itself and in the required bundles, but not in any wrapped JARs on the bundle classpath. However, the spec does not explicitly say that wrapped JARs should _not_ be consulted. I don't know if this is intentional for fear of breaking anything, or if people simply never thought that anybody would want to do it that way. This has nothing to do with buddy classloading. Now since buddy classloading is a non-standard extension anyway, one might argue that it should also include a mechanism to access resources in wrapped JARs of the buddies. But that is an Eclipse and not an OSGi issue, and anyway this would mean diluting OSGi more and more. > Since I really don't want to BUILD and repackage GeoTools (as > you have done) just for USING it in an OSGI application I > strongly support the notion of creating real OSGI-ready > bundles by the GeoTools project in the first place, as you suggest. > > The reward seems worth the work from my POV. > > P.S.

I do the same in my projects, so I hope Geotools will be OSGI out of the box in the future. Jody and I are preparing a change request for Geotools at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Add+bundle+information+to+jar+manifest (This is currently just a template, but the flesh will be added in the next few days.)
