OSGi has a problem with split packages, i.e. same package but hosted in multiple bundles.
Are there any edge cases that split packages might pose problems in plain java (without OSGi) ?
Just curious.

For OSGi packages in different bundles are different, regardless of their name, because each bundle uses its own class loader. It is not a problem but a feature, to ensure encapsulation of bundles.
So in plain Java this is normally not a problem, until you start using some framework that uses class loaders. That is typically the case when components are loaded.
