-noimportjava BOOLEAN

Analyzer

Prior to OSGi Core R7, it was invalid for the Import-Package header to include java.* packages. So Bnd would never include them in the generated Import-Package header. In OSGi Core R7, or later, it is now permitted to include java.* packages in the Import-Package header. This allows the OSGi framework validate the execution environment can supply all the java packages required by a bundle. This can avoid a NoClassDefFoundError during execution of the bundle due to a missing java.* package required by the bundle.

Bnd will now generate the Import-Package header including referenced java.* packages when either the bundle imports the org.osgi.framework package from OSGi Core R7, or later, or when the bundle includes class files targeting Java 11, or later.

The -noimportjava instruction can be used to tell Bnd not to include referenced java.* packages in the generated Import-Package header.

For example:

-noimportjava: true

You can use the Import-Package instruction to control which referenced java.* packages should be imported.

For example:

Import-Package: java.util.*, !java.*, *

will only import java.util.* packages and no other java.* packages.
