Re: [equinox-dev] Some Packages must be imported outside of Eclipse

This is why you should use something like
bndtools to make your bundles. Hand editing your manifest's package statements
is not a good idea.

Hello Richard,

thanks for your answer.

If it's not recommend to change the property to make packages like 
javax.* directly available: Is it possible in Eclipse to automatically
import such packages when I use classes from them? I want to avoid the
effort to manually check all my classes for imports from everything 
except java.* and manually adding these packages to the bundle manifest
before I export the bundle as JAR.

Regards,
Rene
