Hello,
I created a plugin for vSphere Web Client which is using some third party jars. For this, I defined them as bundles in plugin-package.xml and also added the packages in Import-Package section of the service plugin's manifest file.
The bundles are loaded, I can see that in the log file in virgo server, each of them is installed, resolved and started. The same for service jar and ui war bundles.
When I open the web client in the browser, I can see the ui of my plugin, but when executing an operation which makes a call to the service plugin I get ClassNotFoundException for a class from one of the third party jars which is not called from my code but from another class from the same jar.

I can also see that classes which my code uses directly are loaded successfully. Like org.apache.wink.client.ClientConfig.
Including org.apache.wink.common.internal.providers.entity.csv package in the manifest file doesn't help.
This is the manifest file:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: test-service
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.vmware.Testservice
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-Vendor: test
Import-Package: org.apache.commons.logging,
org.apache.commons.codec,
org.apache.commons.codec.binary,
org.apache.commons.lang,
javax.xml.bind,

javax.ws.rs,
javax.ws.rs.core,
org.apache.wink.client,
org.apache.wink.client.handlers,
javax.net.ssl
Export-Package: com.wmware.testservice
And the plugin-package.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pluginPackage id="com.vmware.test-service" version="1.0.0" name="test-service"
description="Desc" vendor="test">

</dependencies>
<bundlesOrder>

<bundle id="org.apache.wink.client" />
<bundle id="com.vmware.Testservice" />
<bundle id="com.vmware.Testui" />
</bundlesOrder>
</pluginPackage>
I have the web client installed locally connecting to a remote vCenter server.
My question is, is this the right way to include third party jars? And then if someone has encountered this problem or knows how to solve it, please help me.
Thanks!
