Thanks to Leo for fixing the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396322 whereby lib/endorsed was not honoured when launching Virgo from inside Eclipse. Just to follow up on this, the Virgo Tooling Bundle Dependencies classpath container does not appear to honour this either. To try it I added a reference to javax.transaction.SystemException to a class in a project targetting Virgo 3.6.0 Tomcat runtime. The import is automatically added to the manifest but the class cannot be resolved by the container. So in fact the container is not fully reflecting the runtime environment.

A workaround is to add the dependency directly as an external jar or via maven or via some other Eclipse mechanism. This is not a big deal for me anyway as I was only hitting the dependency issue deep inside hibernate and so do not need the class resolved inside Eclipse as in my test case above, but seeing as I noticed it I thought I'd point it out.

Matty.
