felix.bootdelegation.implicit

[Elliot Huntington <el...@gmail.com>]

The Felix documentation states:

felix.bootdelegation.implicit - Specifies whether the framework should try
to guess when to implicitly boot delegate to ease integration with external
code. The default value is true.

The documentation treats "boot delegate" as a verb in its definitive form.
What does it mean to "boot delegate"?

Delegate to the boot class loader. Normally, bundles do not have access 
to anything outside of the java.* packages and whatever they import or 
is accessible on their bundle class path.

Generally, you shouldn't have to worry about implicit boot class loader 
delegation, it is just something the framework tries to do to help out 
in certain situations.
