[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-920) ClassNotFoundException for BundleContextSelector when initialising in an OSGi environment

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-920?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14567440#comment-14567440 ] 

Gary Gregory commented on LOG4J2-920:
-------------------------------------

>From the OSGi wiki:

Though DynamicImport-Package can be a life saver in certain circumstances it does revert the OSGi Framework to a very expensive class path for the packages involved. With DynamicImport-Package the OSGi Framework must revert to searching the public exported packages to find a match instead of the careful normal calculation. Especially using the wildcard is very harmful. The need for DynamicImport-Package usually is a symptom of a non-modular design.

This does not sound nice.

I find it hard to believe, as complex as Eclipse is for example, that Log4j presents an architecture that would require us to essentially workaround OSGi's.

Surely there must be a better way, or not :-( I just cannot dig into it ATM.
