Description Ed Pichler CLA 2011-03-04 07:54:37 EST 
Build Identifier: 

I got problems running my bundles in Equinox:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5181211/java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-on-osgi/5181271#5181271

I discovered that eclipse imports automatically java vm libraries, while, in a OSGi environment I should declare all imported packages.

I think eclipse should import all packages in manifest file. Like it was disabled the org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=* 

When I try to run in fully official OSGi environment, I shoul edit all manifest files to import the packages. I think need to be improved these feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a OSGi bundle on Eclipse with required Environment JSE5.0 in manifest file.
2. Try tu run on Equinox with default configuration (don't put org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=* on config file).
3.

Marking as duplicate of bug164188.  This is opened against API tooling, but I think it belongs in PDE-UI where other checks are done to ensure you use only packages that are imported/requried.
