Hello,
we are using apache felix 4.2.1 as an embedded OSGi container and use
OSGi bundles as a plugin mechanism in our application. Our understanding
is, that bundles can use java.* packages, but not other packages, such
as org.w3c.dom or javax.xml.parsers.
My question is, is there a way to expose all of the packages included in
the Java runtime to all OSGi bundles?
We tried to add the packages mentioned above to the
"org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra" property, but without the
desired effect. The classes were not found in the bundle.
We tried two things, that made the classes available, but we are not
100% satisfied with these solutions:
1. We added the packages to the "org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation"
property and the classes will be available to the bundle, but we prefer
another solution, because we feel, we broke modularity of the bundles
with this property.
2. We added the packages to the <import-package> in the bundle manifest
and the classes will be available to the bundle, but we would prefer a
solution where we won't have to add these packages to every bundle (the
bundle will be developed by users of the application and not by us).
Thanks for you help,
Benjamin Rogge
