How to add a library dependency to the java service modules?

Hi,

I am trying to add Google gson jar as a dependency to the chassis sample (/chassisRackVSphere-service) and I am running into some issues with the osgi setup.

Here are the things that I did in service of adding the  gson-2.2.4.jar to the list of libraries (that I will be using from my service module).

1. Added gson-2.2.4.jar to chassisRackVSphere-service\lib

2. Added gson-2.2.4.jar to the list of referenced libraries in STS.

3. Fixed the ANT build file to add this jar to the classpath

<target name="compile-java" depends="clean" description="Do not select this internal target.">

      <javac includeantruntime="false" destdir="${CLASSES}" fork="true" debug="on">

         <src path="${basedir}/src/main/java"/>

         <!-- <src path="${basedir}/src/test/java"/> for future test files -->

         <classpath>

            <!-- remove this if you are not using the SDK on the java side -->

            <pathelement path="${VSPHERE_SDK_HOME}/libs/vsphere-client-lib.jar"/>

          <pathelement path="lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar"/>

          <pathelement path="lib/gson-2.2.4.jar"/>

         </classpath>

      </javac>

   </target>

4. Fixed the manifest file to include the gson package

Import-Package: org.apache.commons.logging,

com.google.gson,

com.vmware.vise.data,

com.vmware.vise.data.query,

com.vmware.vise.data.uri,

com.vmware.vise.vim.data

I am not sure what I am missing. How do I add third party libraries to the service module (in this case chassisRackVSphere-service)? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
