Why does the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle manifest.mf have no Bundle-ClassPath entry? [message #49333]

Yet, the bundle exports classes.
I'm confused how it is possible for the bundle to export classes when it has no classpath.

If a bundle has no Bundle-ClassPath entry in it's manifest then am I to assume that the bundle's classpath is essentially "./"?

Sorry, nevermind this question. Found the answer in the OSGi specification (boy, you gotta read these things *real* carefully)...

If a Bundle-Classpath header is not declared, the default value of dot ( . ) is
used, which specifies the bundle’s JAR file.
