Hello,

I've come across what appears to be a bug in the findClass(String,  
boolean) method in  
org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleLoader. It doesn't seem  
to cope with arrays of basic Java types. For example, if I call

     findClass(String[].class.getName())

...it throws a ClassNotFoundException.

 From my reading of the OSGi spec, it sounds like it should be  
delegating to the parent classloader in such a case. However, looking  
at the code, the actual test it does is

     name.startsWith(JAVA_PACKAGE)

...which in the case of an array will fail (the name of String[].class  
is '[Ljava.lang.String;', for example).

Should this code be changed so that, rather than just checking whether  
the class's name starts with 'java.', it checks whether the underlying  
type is a 'java.*' type?

Thank you,

David Shepherdson
