Thanks - I was just trying to install Hibernate and realised that recent versions failed with a ByteBuddy error. I added the dependency in and it worked fine. However I did notice that javassist and cglib were still dependencies as well. Thanks for fixing this

Actually the "real" solution is to make Bytebuddy optional in MANIFEST.MF to match the Karaf feature file. As I stated above, if you want to use Bytebuddy you'd have to manually add that to your project's deps for 5.x
Re-opening this as there is a discrepancy between how the OSGi dep is defined in MANIFEST.MF (non-optional) and how it is defined in the Karaf feature file (optional). It should be optional in both

I should have asked...
Are you specifically trying to use the ByteBuddy BytecodeProvider?
When installing fresh hibernate:
Karaf-console
results in error
Error
