java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for AbstractJiraContextProvider

[udogan]

We are developing a custom plugin which has dependency to jira-tempo plugin. We had dependency problem with jira tempo and overcame with creating our custom plugin as obr. Now we have an error which is annoying us from last 2 weeks. Our module can not enabled because of the error which is at below.

Our pom.xml is:

I resolved this problem by insering this in the pom between the configuration tags ( just where you must have declared the package import from the obr dependencies):

<instructions>
<!-- Specify what package to include. Ensure that any packages from OBRs are also listed. -->
    <Import-Package>
...
com.atlassian.jira.plugin.webfragment.contextproviders ; version=1.0
...
    </Import-Package>
    <CONF_COMM/>
</instructions>

This is weird because it should be imported by default anyway, however, it seems to work.

EDIT : It seems that all packages used in the plugin generating the obr should be imported the same way
