Because the java driver is shipped with correct manifest headers to run the driver as a bundle in an OSGi container, I dropped it into my local repository in BNDTools and started to write some code:

try (MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient( "localhost" , 27017 )) {
...
}

The result was suppringing becasue I end up with an error stating that no class definition was found for javax.net.SocketFactory.

A look into the driver's manifest revealed the missing Import-Package entry for the package "javax.net". After manually adding this entry to the manifest I got the same error for javax.management.ObjectName.

So, for my currently very simple needs, it is enough to add additional Import-Package entries javax.net and javax.management.
