accessing a "library" jar file that is named on the classpath [message #96702]

Hi,

I have application that was running on an OSGi platform 3 platform. I'm
trying to port it to equinox.

The main application accesses several classes that are defined in separate
jar files, the jar files are named in the application's class path. When
running the same code on equinox I'm getting NoClassDef found exceptions
whenever the main app tries to reference a class defined in another jar
file. When I do getprop java.class.path the path returned lists all the
needed jar files so I beleive the classpath is set correctly.

I have the feeling that I'm missing something fundamental, in OSGi platform
4 do all packages have to be exported by bundles?

Thanks for any help
Tim.

Sorry this was answered in an earlier post. If I include the jars in the
bootclasspath all seems to be working.
