[jira] Resolved: (FELIX-25) Implement boot delagation property

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-25?page=all ]
     
Richard S. Hall resolved FELIX-25:
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This is done and committed. In an effort to avoid breaking modularity accidentally, no packages are delegated to the parent class loader by default other than java.* as required by the spec (this reverses the previous comment that said that "com.sun.*" and "sun.*" were being delegated). To help deal with potential issues that may arise because of this strict class loading, new diagnostic messages were added to Felix to help the developer pinpoint the issue and suggest solutions.

> This issue is described in section 3.8.3 of the OSGi R4 specification. The general jist is that this property is used to short circuit the "strict" parent class loading behavior of the framework; normally, only "java.*" packages are delegated to the parent, but packages listed in this property will also be delegated to the parent. This is likely a pretty localized change.
