I don't know for sure, but it seems like they are not. I simply get the error that says that a given import of a the bundle being installed was not satisfied; it's javax.crypto. If I add that one manually via the extra system packages config, it then starts complaing about javax.management. > The versions exported by Felix changes based on the JRE used and you may > have to adjust your bundle imports. Indeed. So I actually figured that out. I looked at the default.properties file in the framework jar and saw that it sets the org.osgi.framework.system.packages to various things based upon the jre version. Apparently, 3.0.2 was prior to java 7 so it simply doesn't have a mapping for 7. I'm upgrading to felix 4.0.2 to solve the problem.
