Hello,
For a project I'm working on creating a VLC bundle in Felix. I'm
starting to wonder if trying to get VLC in a bundle is the right choice.
I'm running into what appears to be an import/export package problem.
VLC needs the uk.co.caprica.vlcj.binding package. So I have added it
both to the import and export-package in the MANIFEST.MF. When I try to
run a very small test, getting the version of VLC, I get a
/java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: uk/co/caprica/vlcj/binding/LibVlc
error/ and according to Intellij this is Caused
by:/java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: *** Class
'uk.co.caprica.vlcj.binding.LibVlc' was not found because bundle
VideoActuator [7] does not import 'uk.co.caprica.vlcj.binding' /I find
this error strange since my manifest does import the package.
Just to try it I have added another uk.co.caprica.vlcj.binding to the
import field, this generates a duplicate import error, which does make
sense since it's already imported.
Am I overlooking something or should I proceed in a different way and
not use VLC in a bundle at all?
Below are the manifest and the source code of my test
Regards,
Erik Jansman
