While our basic distribution of Cytoscape (built on Karaf) does not use any classes in the sun.*/com.sun.* packages, we have been receiving questions from third-party app developers regarding the use of such classes in app bundles.
Currently, these developers are instructing their users to add these packages to the org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation in custom.properties. While that works, it is obviously unintuitive for users. Is there any harm in customizing the distribution to include these packages in custom.properties by default? Is there a better solution to this issue for those who need these packages? (I know that using sun packages is not advised - we don't do it and don't want to encourage it, though it seems that in some cases it is hard to avoid - particularly when a library is involved.) -- View this message in context: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Bundles-that-depend-on-sun-classes-tp4037465.html Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
