Re: [tycho-user] how to build bundles that depends on classes from RT.ja

[Cristiano Gavião <cvgaviao@xxxxxxxxx>]

For people that could have the same problem...

Reading this articles I could found one solution that works with tycho, 
to create a system bundle extension:
 http://blog.springsource.com/2009/01/19/exposing-the-boot-classpath-in-osgi/
http://blog.meschberger.ch/2008/10/osgi-bundles-require-classes-from.html

To use it with Tycho I had to create a new plugin fragment project, 
setup the manifest as below, add a pom and add it to the parent modules:

> Manifest-Version: 1.0
> Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
> Bundle-Name: Dependencies
> Bundle-SymbolicName: com.c4biz.wsht.internal.dependencies
> Bundle-Version: 0.0.1.qualifier
> Bundle-Vendor: C4BIZ
> Fragment-Host: 
> org.eclipse.osgi;bundle-version="3.7.0";extension:=framework
> Export-Package: sun.misc,com.sun.tools.xjc,sun.reflect

cheers
