Richard,
So you're saying that if the bundle imports them, then they're
available and therefore OSGi has only bent the rules and not really
broken the JDK?
My bundle imports javax.management, and the Felix classloading still
fails.
The class in question is javax.management.ObjectName. This is from
common/amx-ext-impl/target/amx-ext-impl.jar; the Import-Package is
apparently done by our build:
Bundle-Description: implementation for amx-ext
Import-Package: com.sun.appserv.connectors.internal.api;version="3.0",
com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm;version="3.0",javax.management
,javax.resource;version="1.6",org.glassfish.admin.amx.base;version="3
.0",org.glassfish.admin.amx.core;version="3.0",org.glassfish.admin.am
x.core.proxy;version="3.0",org.glassfish.admin.amx.impl.mbean;version
="3.0",org.glassfish.admin.amx.impl.util;version="3.0",org.glassfish.
admin.amx.intf.config;version="3.0",org.glassfish.admin.amx.intf.conf
ig.grizzly;version="3.0",org.glassfish.admin.amx.util;version="3.0",o
rg.glassfish.admin.mbeanserver;version="3.0",org.glassfish.api.contai
ner;version="3.0",org.glassfish.api.deployment.archive;version="3.0",
org.glassfish.internal.api;version="3.0",org.glassfish.internal.data;

omponent;version="0.3",org.jvnet.hk2.config;version="0.3"
