ClassNotFoundException with classes inside jre/lib/ext [message #34316] Tue, 25 November 2008 12:15 Go to next message

Hi All.

I'm quite new to eclipse plugins.

I wrote a plugin and had no problem.
Now I need to use some BouncyCastle classes, so I added the
bouncycastle jars inside the jre/lib/ext directory and configured the
provider inside the java.security file.

In my RCP.product file, I configured the JRE Name (Launching TAB) so
that my JRE with Bouncycastle will be embedded inside my product.

I've exported the application and verified that the jre/lib/ext is ok:
it's ok.

However, when I execute some of my plugin functions, I get this:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/bouncycastle/jce/provider/BouncyCastleProvider
at
it.intesa.tstation.plugins.etsi.keystore.pkcs12.preferences. P12ConfigDialogContent$2.widgetSelected(P12ConfigDialogConte nt.java:101)

at
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java :84)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1158)
.....

and, the important part (I think):

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader.findCl assInternal(BundleLoader.java:481)

Do you have any idea about what I miss?

Thanks in advance,

Hi all. I made one step forward.

I tried to instantiate the BouncyCastleProvider directly inside my
plugin (i.e. new BouncyCastleProvider()).

Now I get a compile error saying:
"
The constructor BouncyCastleProvider() is not accessible due to
restriction to the require library...
"

How can I change this restrictions?

Many thanks,
Massimiliano

Hi,

did you specify the package of BouncyCastleProvider as Export-Packages /
Import-Packages in your Manifests?

Regards,
Stefan.

Hi Stephan!

Thank you very much for your help.

I tried to export the packages as you told, but I cannot see them (when
I click on Add, the bouncycastle packages are not shown).

I even tried to add the bouncycastle's library inside the plugin, than
I've been able to export the packages.

This way it worked, except the fact that the library has been loaded by
two different classloaders (infact it is inside the jre/lib/ext and
inside the plugin): this way I got :
cannot cast class PBEKey to class PBEKey (an obvious classloader issue).

What do I still make wrong?

Thank you!,
Massimiliano

Hi,

the setting should look like this:

Bundle A (containing BouncyCastleProvider)
Export-Package: org.bouncycastle.jce.provider

Bundle B (referencing BouncyCastleProvider)
Import-Package: org.bouncycastle.jce.provider

Maybe, there are additional packages which are indirectly referenced by
BouncyCastleProvider which you have to add to both lists.

Now, you should have no classloader issues any more.

Regards, Stefan.

The problem was the following.

The problem was about a call inside the code, where I used some security
class passing as provider 'new BouncyCastleProvider()'.

The exact code was (one of the many):

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12",new BouncyCastleProvider());

I solved it changing the code to:

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12",Security.getProvider("BC"));

Than, I created a plugin containing only the bouncycastle classes.
This plugin exports bouncycastle packages.

The other plugins that needs bouncycastle's api, simply depends on the
bouncycastle plugin.

However, I'm not sure I wont' meet the problem again with other
bouncycastle's apis...

Do you think I did right?

Thank you very much for your help!

Massimiliano,
Putting the Bouncy Castle classes in their own plugin is the best solution.

I think the problems you had before when they were in jre/lib/ext are to
do with boot delegation [1] and execution environments [2].
The short explanation being that by default you can only see the
packages from the vm that are exported by the system bundle
(org.eclipse.osgi). This list of packages is determined by an execution
environment profile, which of course does not include the Bouncy Castle
packages.

To use Bouncy Castle packages from the jre/lib/ext directory, you would
either need to change org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation, or use a custom
execution environment (I'm not sure of the details for that).

[2] http://wiki.eclipse.org/Execution_Environment

Thank you very much!

One last question: to change the org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation do I
have to change some configuration file? Or the only way is to put an
-Dorg.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=org.bouncycastle.* as VM parameter?
(sorry for the newbie question: this is my first RCP application)

Thank you again,

You can set this in the configuration/config.ini file.
