apply plugin: \'java\'

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with the Gradle bnd plugin, but I am familiar with bnd.

The default value of Import-Package in bnd instruction is *. The means: match against all of the generated imports. If you specify a single value for Import-Package then it overrides the * and becomes the sole import. Therefore your Import-Package instruction nearly always should end with a catch-all * in the last position.

Taking a guess at how this would translate to Groovy/Gradle, I suggest the following:

instruction 'Import-Package', 'org.springframework.orm', '*'
