Hi,
The OSGi bundle's rule (jars) are pretty easy to understand:
* You can't have two different bundles (jars) exporting the same packages otherwise they must have different versions (and shall respect the semantic versioning paradigm: macro qualifier for major api changes (e.g. consumer api), minor for minor changes (e.g. developper api), micro for patches. Otherwise, these bundles (jar) cannot coexist within the same OSGi runtime.
* Also, jars cannot have circular packages dependencies (com.foo having classes importing ones from com.bar having importing some from a package which import one from com.foo)
As derby.server and derby.client are exporting the same packages (there classes in the org.apache.derby package in the derby-client jar and also in the derby-server jar), they can't really coexist in an OSGi runtime (there are hacks like using Require-Bundle Manifest option instead of the Import-Package one, or making a super-bundle encompassing these two, but this breaks to some modularity capabilities and it's just evil).

> Key: DERBY-6586
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6586
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Network Client, Network Server
> Affects Versions: 10.10.2.0
> Environment: OSGi
> Reporter: Charlie Mordant
>
> The manifest in derbyclient.jar is incomplete for usage in OSGi. There are no packages exported. This appears to only be a problem in standalone equinox (outside of eclipse). Note that I did not try other OSGi containers.
> The fix is relatively simple. Adding the Export-Package manifest header should take care of the problem.
