Thomas Jaeckle commented on LBCLASSIC-131:
------------------------------------------

What is the status of this issue?
I want to use the CyclicBufferAppender in an OSGi container - and it can't be found (ClassNotFoundException).

Can the package be added to <Import-Package> statement so that the CyclicBufferAppender can also be used in OSGi?
This seems like a really easy fix without side effects ..

>    Affects Versions: 0.9.15

> In OSGi environment logback-core will correctly try to use the class-loader of logback-classic bundle to load classes of the selected Appenders. This however means that logback-classic needs to have visibility to the requested Appender classes. Since RollingFileAppender is located in a separate package "ch.qos.logback.core.rolling" and not explicitly referenced from logback-classic code, the respective Import-Package declaration will not be generated automatically by the BND tool (embedded in maven-bundle-plugin). 
> In order to avoid ClassNotFound exceptions when trying to use RollingFileAppender the appropriate Import-Package declarations have to be added explicitly to the configuration of maven-bundle-plugin in logback-classic POM.
> The current <Import-Package> settings in maven-bundle-plugin configuration: 
>             <Import-Package>sun.reflect;resolution:=optional,
>                             javax.jms;resolution:=optional,
>                             *
>             </Import-Package>
> Suggested update:
>             <Import-Package>sun.reflect;resolution:=optional,
>                             javax.jms;resolution:=optional,
>                             ch.qos.logback.core.rolling, 
>                             ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.helper, 
>                             *
>             </Import-Package>
> Please consider also to implement the related issue LBCLASSIC-121 when fixing this defect.
