OSGi bundle loading: NoClassDefFoundError of standard java class

Question

I'm trying to run iDempiere on Virgo. I loaded multiple bundles without problems. The org.adempiere.server and org.idempiere.webservices load fine. But when loading the org.adempiere.ui.zk bundle, I get a NoClassDefFoundError in the org.adempiere.base bundle. The base bundle didn't cause any problems when loading org.adempiere.server, which also needs it.

The strange thing is, it's the javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSize$NA class which isn't found, which is a standard Java class.

When executing clexport, the class is exported by org.eclipse.osgi When executing clload, the class can get loaded by other bundles.

The error stack:

Any idea what could cause this?

Answer 1

I see a:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.print.attribute.standard.MediaSize$NA

This is a CNFE not a NoClassDefFoundError

In module "org.adempiere.base_1.0.0.v20121024-1809" you need to:

Import-Package: javax.print.attribute.standard

FWIW This is an entry to add/merge into the MANIFEST.MF for that module.
