Building OSGi Module with Scala using Eclipse PDE and Scala IDE

Question

How to build an OSGi bundle that use Scala (2.9.1.RC3) with PDE (Eclipse Helios). I'm using Scala IDE (2.0.0-beta) to build the project and converting this to PDE project. My MANIFEST.MF is like that:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: ScalaTest1
Bundle-SymbolicName: ScalaTest1
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0.qualifier
Bundle-Activator: scalatest1.Activator
Import-Package: org.osgi.framework;version="1.3.0"
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6

The project build without errors, but when start the bundle this exception appears (using Apache Felix 3.2.2):

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Not found: scalatest1.Activator

        ... 33 more

And the code:

package scalatest1

import org.osgi.framework._

class Activator extends BundleActivator {
  def start(context: BundleContext) {
    println("Hello, World!");

    val bundleNames = context.getBundles()
      .map(b => b.getSymbolicName())
      .filter(b => b != context.getBundle());
    println("Installed bundles: " + bundleNames.mkString(", "));
  }

  def stop(context: BundleContext) {
    println("Goodbye, World!");
  }
}

What is wrong with the process? How to map correctly the class Activator?

Thanks in advance

Does your activator class implement the java interface BundleActivator? Are all the types referenced by the activator class in the bundle or in packages imported? — BJ Hargrave, Aug 18 '11 at 17:09
Your bundle doesn't appear to import the Scala standard library packages. Unfortunately I don't know offhand what these would be, but would probably need at least the `scala` package. It looks like you're using scala collections so you would need to import `scala.collection`, and you may also need `scala.runtime`. — Neil Bartlett, Aug 18 '11 at 18:37

See http://www.michel-kraemer.com/scala-projects-with-eclipse-pde-build-2 for a way to do this without exporting .scala files in JAR.

I found the silly problem. When was exporting the field "Use class files compiled in the workspace" was unmarked. Works, but there is another problem, that the .scala files are in the .jar file exported.
