I think it is reasonable to allow someone to hide exports from the
system bundle, but that doesn't mean that this process couldn't be
improved. For example, we could introduce a new variable
${framework-exports} as an alias to what the framework exports, so then
in our default properties file the system.packages could be written
something like this:
org.osgi.framework.system.packages= ${dollar}{framework-exports} \
${dollar}{jre-${dollar}{java.specification.version}}
Thus making it easier for people who want to override system.packages by
using our alias.
Of course, though, if you just want to add stuff to system packages,
then you should be using system.packages.extra like others have suggested.

Yes, that's precisely what the
org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra was designed for. That way
you don't need to remember what the framework puts on
org.osgi.framework.system.packages in order to augment it.

If you are trying to extend the set of packages exported by the system
bundle, you should use org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra. By
specifying org.osgi.framework.system.packages you are overriding the
default value used by the framework, and hence must include the packaged
that are expected to be supplied by the framework.

Hi,
I asked this 1-2 years ago, but I think it is worthy to ask it again.
Are you sure that the set of system packages should include the OSGi core
packages?
In my understanding:
- system packages are the ones coming from outside of the OSGi container
- osgi core packages are offered by the framework bundle, but they are
not system packages
In practice:
- If I specify org.osgi.system.packages property for equinox, I do not
have to define the packages implemented by the framework
- If I specify the same property for felix, I must copy-paste the
packages of osgi.core always
Do you think there is a use-case when osgi.core packages offered by the
framework should be excluded from the exported packages of the system
bundle? I think Equinox has the right behavior here.
Do you see any chance to change this behavior in the future?
Kind regards,
