Hi guys, I just started with OSGi/Felix and went through a lot of reading over the weekend regarding classloading/osgi/felix. I still don't have a clear idea of how to incorporate an external library into my app.
I understand that OSGi do class loading through Import-Package, no more linear class loading like in an traditional Java app. That means if a bundle does not specify what packages it want to import, it will not be available to that bundle. On the other hand, everything on classpath, if specified by Import-Package, will be available to a bundle. (did I get that right?) The ultimate goal here is to reuse felix.jar as a host and import a 3rd party jar so that one of the bundle can use it. (is this even the right approach?) What's the best way to do this? If there's already write-up on this one and I happen to miss it, please point me to the right place.
