no worries - all the source packages will be in Private-Package by default (unless the user specifies his/her own Private-Package) and we'll use the simple internal / impl heuristic to select the packages for Export-Package (again unless an explicit Export-Package is specified) so to export all packages, a user could use: <_exportcontents>*</_exportcontents> <!-- note: if you use Export-Package you'd pull in the whole classpath --> and to hide all packages, a user could use: <Export-Package>!*</Export-Package> <!-- note: you could also leave this field blank, or use _exportcontents --> HTH - I'll update the docs once I've finalized and tested the new defaults Thanks, > Sahoo > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > -- Cheers, Stuart
