Bug #82826	unneeded version requirement for javax.net.ssl Import-Package on OSGi MANIFES.MF

Description:
On the MANIFEST.MF file, the Import-Package directive specifies a version for the javax.net.ssl package:

Import-Package: javax.net, javax.net.ssl; version="[1.0.1, 2.0.0)"; resolution:=optional,...

Normally, javax packages are required without a version because they are exported by the system bundle with version 0.0.0 (they are a part of the jdk and so have no specific version)

When trying to use SSL to talk to a database, this leads to a failure to construct the connection because there is no javax.net.ssl package exported that respects the version range.

How to repeat:
In an OSGi environment try to configure an SSL connection to a mysql server.

Suggested fix:
Remove the version restriction.
