I also have a problem with my old local plugin and vSphere 8.0. I followed the instructions in the "Local plugin library isolation - vSphere 8.0" document. I moved third party libraries (Spring and others) to a separate "libraries" directory. My plugin deploys in vSphere but doesn't work.
In the OSGi console, my plugin bundle has the status 'INSTALLED'. The 'diag' command displays the message: "Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.vmware.vim.sso.http". But also in the same console I see this bundle (after typing 'ss' command):
71 ACTIVE com.vmware.vim.sso.http_0.0.1.dev
Do I need to copy any libraries from VMware to the "libraries" directory in addition to third-party libraries? I found the httpSsoAuth.jar file containing bundle com.vmware.vim.sso.http on vSphere server. But copying this file to my plugin's "libraries" directory seems incorrect to me.
Has anyone had a problem like this?
