Gson version

The Apache NetBeans project has just tried to migrate from version 2.8.5 to version 2.8.8 in the pull request PR-3200 and the update fails with unsatisfied OSGi missing constraint: Import-Package: sun.misc.

Java / Android version

NetBeans project builds & runs primarily on JDK8.

Used tools

NetBeans is using home-made Ant based build system. I don't think it matters for this bug report.

Description

As PR-3200 states: The start of NetBeans fails with exception coming from an OSGi container (Apache NetBeans project is using OSGi behind the scene):

SEVERE [org.netbeans.modules.netbinox]: framework event com.google.gson type 2
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: The bundle "com.google.gson_2.8.8 [111]" could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Import-Package: sun.misc; version="0.0.0"

Expected behavior

Version 2.8.5 starts. It's manifest doesn't have any unavoidable dependency on sun.misc package. There is

unzip -p netbeans/ide/modules/com-google-gson.jar META*MAN* | grep Import.*Package
Import-Package: com.google.gson.annotations

in NetBeans 12.5.

Actual behavior

However the new, 2.8.8 version contains explicit dependency on sun.misc:

Import-Package: com.google.gson.annotations,sun.misc

The Apache NetBeans project doesn't allow OSGi bundles to access sun.misc package and as such the OSGi container refuses to launch the GSON 2.8.8 bundle.

Reproduction steps

To reproduce I would:

  • apply PR-3200
  • ant build to build NetBeans
  • ant tryme to launch it

However I assume the problem is clear from the printed error. The sun.misc imported package is causing it. Any compliant OSGi container shall fail on similar error.

Workaround

OSGi specification defines a special property org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra which makes additional boot classpath packages available to the OSGi bundles. Yes, setting it to:

$ netbeans/bin/netbeans -J-Dorg.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=sun.misc

works. Yes, we can use it, if necessary. But it puzzles me:

Have you introduced the dependency intentionally? Or is it just an accidental by-product of other changes? I can see that the new version of GSON is built with JDK11 from its JAR manifest. Also the BND tools got upgraded to Bnd-5.3.0.202102221516 - maybe the added dependency on sun.misc is just a by-product of one of the build changes? It seems the sun.misc code is used just conditionally - e.g. the dependency could be optional:=true. Maybe specifying the optional dependency explicitly to BND is all that's needed to eliminate it?

Thanks for taking a look and helping Apache NetBeans (possibly others) resolve the upgrade issue.

Hi Jaroslav!
Sorry you are having these problems. Unfortunately I'm not sure anyone currently active in this project has expertise in OSGi. If you or anyone else can propose a change that solves your problem we can look into applying it and re-releasing, but I don't think we'll be able to come up with such a change ourselves.
This RxJava issue from 2015 might be relevant.

Hello Éamonn!
I believe #1993 is the right fix. Can you be my sponsor (again ;-) and help me get it into next version of GSON?
