Missing Import-Package declaration in logback-classic causes problem with 
RollingFileAppender
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LBCLASSIC-131
                 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-131
             Project: logback-classic
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.9.15
         Environment: OSGi Service Platform Release 4 
            Reporter: Pavol Juhos
            Assignee: Logback dev list


In OSGi environment logback-core will correctly try to use the class-loader of 
logback-classic bundle to load classes of the selected Appenders. This however 
means that logback-classic needs to have visibility to the requested Appender 
classes. Since RollingFileAppender is located in a separate package 
"ch.qos.logback.core.rolling" and not explicitly referenced from 
logback-classic code, the respective Import-Package declaration will not be 
generated automatically by the BND tool (embedded in maven-bundle-plugin). 

In order to avoid ClassNotFound exceptions when trying to use 
RollingFileAppender the appropriate Import-Package declarations have to be 
added explicitly to the configuration of maven-bundle-plugin in logback-classic 
POM.

The current <Import-Package> settings in maven-bundle-plugin configuration: 

            <Import-Package>sun.reflect;resolution:=optional,
                            javax.jms;resolution:=optional,
                            *
            </Import-Package>

Suggested update:

            <Import-Package>sun.reflect;resolution:=optional,
                            javax.jms;resolution:=optional,
                            ch.qos.logback.core.rolling, 
                            ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.helper, 
                            *
            </Import-Package>
