Marshall Schor reopened UIMA-951:
---------------------------------


Reopening - after Tong pointed out that if a package is both in the import-package and require-bundle, then the import-package takes precedence and the require-bundle is ignored.   Fix by excluding the split packages from the import-package.

> Some eclipse packages are split across multiple bundles.  The maven-bundle-plugin, by default, will put in a package import, which could get connected to only one of the bundles.  If that bundle doesn't have the class, you get a classnotfound exception.  Which bundle gets wired is arbitrary - often differing based on platform, build, etc.
> The fix is to identify all the split packages in Eclipse (these can be found by opening the Eclipse HELP and searching using the keywords ( split packages map )).  Then for each split package, add a Require-Bundle for each bundle that has some of the classes for that package.
> Add the Require-Package directive to the affected POMs to make these stable against possibly wrong wiring.
