[jira] [Updated] (FELIX-3364) MetaDataReader exposes a private exception class on the public API

["Jeremias Maerki (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Jeremias Maerki updated FELIX-3364:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: xmlpullparser-visibility-patch.diff

I've created a patch that fixes the problem by throwing an IOException instead of the XMLPullParserException. That loses the original stack trace but that's probably still better than the other possible solution: exporting xmlpull. Maybe you can think of an even better approach. HTH

> MetaDataReader can be useful outside the Metatype bundle and is part of the bundle's public API. But some public methods of MetaDataReader expose XmlPullParserException which is a private class (from the embedded xmlpull):
> public MetaData parse( URL url ) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException
> public MetaData parse( InputStream ins ) throws IOException, XmlPullParserException
> This prohibits the use of MetaDataReader from outside the Metatype bundle.
