Description

The framework is configured by default to export all JRE packages. Currently, this doesn't include "uses" constraints, which can lead to resolutions that result in execution-time issues (e.g., LinkageErrors) that are hard to diagnose. If we include "uses" constraints on the system packages, then we can avoid this. We should be able to use BND to generate this information.
