Question about the OSGI console commands: packages& bundle [message #1008320]

I am trying to see the packages being used by an eclipse plugin, using the eclipse osgi console

The results given by the following 2 commands do not appear consistent

a) When I use the "bundle" command for a plugin , I do not see a particular package listed as imported to eb specific ( javax.xml.bind )
b) When I use the "packages" command it shows that this package is being used by the plugin mentioned above

The given plugin does not directly import the package. So why would it be listed in the packages command?

Which command should I use to find out is a particular package is being used by a plugin?

Any help is appreciated

Regards
Ani

Hello Aniruddha!
I'm not responding to your question only want to share my experience
with "packages" command - this command never gave me trustworthy
results. Often it says "No packages export" despite bundle actually
exports a lot of packages.

Maybe it will be worthwhile to file a bug with this inconsistency (in
that case repost bug ID here - I wish to follow up it).
