Karl Pauls resolved FELIX-1974.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Workaround
I added a service loader lookup for a
org.apache.felix.framework.ext.ClassPathExtenderFactory
service in r1813157.
The idea is that if we find a service for that interface, we will call its
getExtender() method with "null" to see if it supports boot class path
extensions. If that returns an extender, we will use it to append boot class
path extension bundles via the add(File) method of the returned extender.
In other words, we don't provide support for this OOTB but somebody could
extend the framework to add support.
As this feature is optional and has become close to impossible to support on
java9 (without command line switch support etc.) I think this is good enough.
At a minimum, I don't plan to work on this anymore.

> This issue is described in section 3.14 of the OSGi R4 specification. The
> main jist is to provide a standard mechanism to place classes on the JVM boot
> class path. This mechanisms is modeled as bundle fragments, but it not really
> completely related to it. The boot class path aspect is likely to be
> dependent on specific JVMs. Please note that we have support for "normal"
> extension bundles already.
