With karaf 3.0.3 bundles now require imports of javax packages

[dsjaxen <do...@siemens.com>]

Hi!
We have been in the process of moving some of our bundles to karaf 3.0.3,
and in the process have started
seeing ClassNotFoundExceptions for classes in packages like the following:
 javax.xml.*   (javax.xml.transform for instance)
 javax.security.*
I was under the impression that if these were listed in jre.properties, then
they would not have to be imported.  I see entries for the packages in the
jre.properties, so I am confused.
I can fix the issue by adding the imports which would seem to have no ill
effects (works with karaf 2.x).
However, I would like to understand why it is not working as expected.
Thanks,
Doug

You need imports for all packages except for the java.* packages.
You could add the javax packages to the boot delegation to avoid having 
imports but it is not recommended to do so.
