RE: [platform-core-dev] Bundles which do not require org.eclipse.osgi

Non re-exporting all makes sense.
It would be interesting to see/know how many external (non eclipse
provided plug-ins) it will break.

Subject: [platform-core-dev] Bundles which do not require
org.eclipse.osgi



In this week I-Build the OSGi framework no longer gives access to
non-java.* packages provided by the JVM for free.  Previously we used to
always delegate to the boot classloader before delegating to OSGi for
all class loads.  This means non-java.* packages (i.e. java.xml.parsers)
are not accessible unless the bundle imports the package (using
Import-Package: java.xml.parsers) or requires the system.bundle (using
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.osgi).  Most bundles in eclipse require
org.eclipse.osgi indirectly because they require
org.eclipse.core.runtime which reexports org.eclipse.osgi.  This means
most bundles in eclipse do get access to the packages provided by the
JVM profile.  The following bundles do not require org.eclipse.osgi
directly or indirectly. 

org.apache.ant 
org.apache.lucene 
org.eclipse.core.boot 
org.eclipse.jdt 
org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv 
org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user 
org.eclipse.jdt.junit.runtime 
org.eclipse.jdt.source 
org.eclipse.pde.doc.user 
org.eclipse.pde.source 
org.eclipse.platform 
org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv 
org.eclipse.platform.doc.user 
org.eclipse.platform.source 
org.eclipse.sdk 
org.eclipse.swt 
org.eclipse.text 
org.junit 

I suspect the following bundles should require the org.eclipse.osgi
bundle incase they access any non-java.* packages from the JVM: 

org.apache.ant 
org.apache.lucene 
org.eclipse.swt 
org.eclipse.text 
org.junit 

The rest of the bundles which do not require org.eclipse.osgi do not
have any actual code in them so there is no need to require anything.  I
want to get confirmation from the core team that we think this is
necessary before I post to the general eclispe dev mailing list
requesting these bundles update their manifests to Require-Bundle:
org.eclipse.osgi.
