Description Thomas Watson CLA 2015-04-02 11:33:45 EDT 
In bug 463688 a new profile has been added for Java 9.  This bug is to finalize the package list once the spec is finalized.
Comment 1 Claus Klammer CLA 2018-05-29 06:37:36 EDT 
In our osgi based application we are using xml-binding (javax.xml.bind). Since the move to java 9 we can not use the jdk internal classes anymore but instead added dependencies to external bundles providing the required packages. Unfortunately our application only works with a patched profile, where the javax.xml.bind packages have been removed from the org.osgi.framework.system.packages property.

When will the profile be finalized and will these changes propably affect our problem?

Or is this task obsolete at all since all the system packages are calculated in the future anyway (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=527353)?

This is obsolete.  I did backport the fix to the R4_7_maintenance branch, but that was done after our last Oxygen build.

http://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git/commit/?h=R4_7_maintenance&id=409903655846f17f4886603b79549710b8db800d

If you need the fix before Photon release.
