<span class="bold"><strong>WARNING:</strong></span> We advise you not to change the framework profile unless you are sure you know exactly what
you are doing; updating the profile could cause GW to fail.

<p>
This property specifies the packages which are loaded by delegation to the application class loader.
Bundles can load classes belonging to these packages without importing the packages.
The <code class="literal">.*</code> wildcard matches any package suffix.
<code class="literal">java.*</code> is always boot delegated and must not be specified in this property.
Note that the ordering of the packages does not matter.
</p>
</td></tr><tr><td style="border-right: 1.0pt solid ; ">
<code class="literal">org.osgi.framework.system.packages</code>
</td><td style="">
<p>
This property specifies the packages which are exported by the system bundle.
</p>
<p>
It is very occasionally necessary to extend the set, for example when configuring email logging appenders since the implementation of <code class="literal">javax.mail</code> is intimately related to the implementation of <code class="literal">javax.activation</code>.
