Okay, I think I have a better example, along the same lines. My bundle uses JAXP, but the host application does not. When one of my bundles classes is loaded, I get a NoClassDefFoundError : javax/xml/stream/XMLStreamException. Is there some way to "embed" classes from JAXP in my bundle such that the host application doesn't have to have JAXP in its classpath?
Would I use the Import-Package tag? Or Private-Package? Embed-Dependency? Sorry for having trouble wording my problem in a very understandable manner. Mainly what I want to do is to allow a bundle developer the option of including classes from a library dependency that a host application may have no knowledge of. Thanks again Garrett ________________________________ Well, you are going to have to decide what you want to be in your bundle. I assume only org.jdesktop.swingx, so you probably want to have your private package include org.jdesktop.swingx.*. I think you should just let javax.swing come from the class path and not try to include this in your bundle, since I don't think that is what you really want to do (do you?). So, you then will have to make sure that all javax.swing packages are properly exported via the system bundle, which is the normal case for Felix. -> richard ________________________________ Headley, Garrett wrote: Thanks for the fast response, Richard. I am using your maven bundle plugin, and the <Private-Package>org.jdesktop.swingx<Private-Package> tag. When Felix loads my bundle, I get an "unresolved package (package = org.jdesktop.swingx.multislider). So then I had <Private-Package>org.jdesktop.swingx, org.jdesktop.swingx.multislider<Private-Package> At that point, I got an unresolved package (package = javax.swing.undo). Which, I'm assuming is a dependency of one of the swingx classes. When I add javax.swing.undo to the list of private packages, I get the message "Instructions for Private-Package that are never used: javax\.swing\.undo", and the same unresolved package message when I try to load the plugin from the host application. I'm obviously doing SOMETHING wrong and could use some direction Thanks in advance Garrett ________________________________ If you are using our maven bundle plugin, then you can just tell it to include any packages you want into the resulting bundle JAR file. The example app itself does this to package all of the Felix packages into the "host" bundle so that it can run in "hosted framework" mode. -> richard ________________________________ Headley, Garrett wrote: I have a question about how to embed classes or packages in a bundle. For instance, given the example extender based application, assume one of the shapes is using classes from swingx. Rather than add org.jdesktop.swingx to the map of framework system packages when felix is started up by the host, is there a way to embed the package (or specific class) in the bundle? Thanks Garrett
