Re: [orbit-dev] Finding and Validating Import-Package(s)

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The "New Project from existing
JARs" wizard should be able to generate the import list as well.  
There is an "Analyze dependencies..." button in the wizard (you
need to check that).  Also on the Dependencies page i nthe manifest
editor at the bottom left there is a link you can click to have PDE analyze
the dependencies.

Interestingly though, I just tried both
of those on several different JARs and did not get anything generated.
 Seems like there is a bug somewhere there...

Subject	[orbit-dev] Finding and Validating Import-Package(s)

Hi all,

I've been trying to validate "Import-Package"s in a few of the
bundles in 
Orbit to ensure we didn't accidentally miss a needed import.
In particular I think we should try to be good OSGi citizens and am looking
to catch non "java.*" packages from the VM so am using 
"osgi.compatibility.bootdelegation=false".
So far, I've found a few misses primarily for xml packages like:
org.xml.sax,
org.xml.sax.ext,
org.xml.sax.helpers,
org.w3c.dom,
javax.xml.parsers

I suspect they're missing in other bundles too so it might be worth a look.

Note: Those packages "usually" come from the system bundle which
is 
dependent on the EE, so it might be a good idea to update your manifest
to 
have a 1.4 VM at the top, even if your bundle could conceivably be run
on 
Foundation 1.0 with separate XML bundles.

My real question is if there's a best practice here that we could put up
on 
the wiki..
e.g. What's the best way to find and validate your Import-Package statements
as doing it manually yourself is error-prone.
Is there a way to validate an exisiting bundle?
I tried the "create bundle from jar" wizard (analyze and add
dependencies 
checked ) from the latest IB however this added the "exports"
but not the 
"imports" to the manifest. Is this a bug or ...?
