[eclipse-dev] org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation not working?

[Bruce Bohannan <bbohannan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to get eclipse-osgi running in a standalone java program and
 am having problems with getting bootclass delegation to work.


I
 have a simple example, with a bootclasses.jar with one class in it 
("com.rsc.nonBundle.Bob").

The tinkertoy class is 

package com.rsc.nonBundle;

/**
 *
 class example to be put on the classpath, not in a bundle
 */
public
 class Bob
{
   public Bob()
   {
   }
}

I  have s
 simple OSGI plugin which runs fine.  When I add this to my derived 
BundleActivator's start() method

        // look for a class on the system class path

        
try
        {
           Bob bob = new Bob();
           
System.out.println("Activator.

start() found non-bundle class");
        }
        catch(Throwable e)
        {
           System.out.println("Activator.start() didn't find non-bundle class");
           e.printStackTrace();
        }

then it starts throwing a ClassNotFound exception.

I've tried to run it with org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation defined to true

java -cp org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.2.R36x_v20110210.jar:bootclasses.jar \
        -Dorg.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=true
        -Dosgi.configuration.area=some/Path
        org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter

Here is the stack trace:

I have experimented with setting osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation=false and org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=* to no avail.

I've tried org.osgi.framework.system.packages=com.rsc.nonBundle to no avail.

I'm running with a newish copy of org.eclipse.osgi.jar (org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.2.R36x_v20110210.jar)

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong: Der Google does not show many hits on this property not working.

Any help would be appreciated.
