无法使用Java，OSGI，Karaf连接到mongo数据库

Question

I've installed the mongo driver in my running Karaf server:

bundle:install -s wrap:mvn:org.mongodb/mongo-java-driver/3.6.3

I'm simply trying to connect to the DB and log the databases I have. Currently running out of the box local instance. Below is the code I wrote to demo this in OSGI/Karaf. I'm using the mvn bundle plugin.

I created a database under the alias osgiDatabase

I'm running my debugger and the failure happens during the instantiation of the MongoClient() but not understanding what I could be doing wrong.

This works when I don't use Karaf. The only error I get is Activator start error in bundle

Your Import-Package configuration looks wrong. If you configure it explicitly like this you switch off the auto detection of needed packages. So it is very likely you are missing some packages your code needs.

Instead try to only configure the activator and leave the rest on defaults.

To get better logs you should use a try catch in your Activator an log the exception using slf4j. So you get some more information what is wrong.
