No no. I meant: "the shell.tui's bundle manifest do no includes a Import-Package for org.apache.felix.shell but it works!!!" It looks like a bug or maybe something that I do not understand about OSGi R4 classloading. Also why is the "Shell Tui" bundle working? How can it can resolve the class that define the service that it uses? May be that the Felix's classloader uses the Import-Service? I would not know of this, but maybe yes. Honestly, I never quite understood the Import-Service header. The OSGi R4 specification states that "Import-Service" should be only used for description of the bundle and also the "Import-Service" is deprecated, so if Felix is using the "Import-Service" for classloading that is a bug Regards Felix

I couldn't find any information on those directive on OSGi R4 specification :S These come from the Ignore-Package and Private-Package instructions to BND and are AFAIK not official OSGi manifest headers. OK! So those are not used by Felix at all :) Correct, these are basically informative headers from BND. 2 - Why does not "Shell TUI" bundle Import-Package report the package org.apache.felix.shell even if in it's used in the bundle Activator? The Activator refers to the ShellService of the org.apache.felix.shellpackage, hence this package MUST be imported. Hope this helps. Unfortunately it cause me other doubts :S.

Manifest Package directive
Hi All, I was looking around on the bundles generated by the maven-bundle-plugin and I got some doubts. I hope that you can clarify me: 1 - What is the meaning of Ignore-Package and Private-Package manifest directive? I couldn't find any information on those directive on OSGi R4 specification :S 2 - Why does not "Shell TUI" bundle Import-Package report the package org.apache.felix.shell even if in it's used in the bundle Activator?
