bundled asm 3.1 module (asm-all-repackaged.jar) manifest file broken?

Hi all,

I have tried to deploy a Jersey based web application onto GFv3 Prelude b28.
As Jersey depends on asm-3.1.jar i have hoped it would work fine
with the GFv3 provided [asm-all-repackaged.jar]. But it does not.

The corresponding manifest contains:

Export-Package: org.objectweb.asm.tree.analysis;password=GlassFish;man
 datory:=password;uses:="org.objectweb.asm.tree,org.objectweb.asm";ver
 sion="3.1",org.objectweb.asm.commons;password=GlassFish;mandatory:=pa
 ssword;uses:="org.objectweb.asm.tree,org.objectweb.asm.signature,org.
 objectweb.asm";version="3.1",org.objectweb.asm.tree;password=GlassFis
 h;mandatory:=password;uses:="org.objectweb.asm";version="3.1",org.obj
 ectweb.asm.util;password=GlassFish;mandatory:=password;uses:="org.obj
 ectweb.asm.tree.analysis,org.objectweb.asm.tree,org.objectweb.asm.sig
 nature,org.objectweb.asm";version="3.1",org.objectweb.asm.signature;p
 assword=GlassFish;mandatory:=password;version="3.1",org.objectweb.asm
 .xml;password=GlassFish;mandatory:=password;uses:="org.xml.sax,org.ob
 jectweb.asm.util,org.objectweb.asm,javax.xml.transform,javax.xml.tran
 sform.sax,org.xml.sax.ext,org.xml.sax.helpers,javax.xml.transform.str
 eam";version="3.1",org.objectweb.asm;password=GlassFish;mandatory:=pa
 ssword;version="3.1"

i am wondering what the additional [password=GlassFish] and
[mandatory=password] attributes mean there.

When i put additional [asm.jar] into my GlassFish installation and omit
the two attributes in it's manifest, things start working for me.
(i am using java -jar bnd.jar wrap asm-3.1.jar to create the bundle)

Would it be possible to re-bundle the asm.jar module, so that is does not
contain the two attributes?

If not, what is the intended way of using the bundled [asm-all-repackaged.jar]?

Is there anybody successfully using it as a dependency for his module?

Thanks in advance for your help,

~Jakub
