Ed25519PublicKey usage error within OSGI context

[FireT12]

Hi there @hierynomus,

As part of my SSHJ usage, I'm using a Ed25519 known_host key, and while this works as expected locally, when deloyed into Karaf I am unfortunately receiving the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/i2p/crypto/eddsa/math/Curvenâ|
at com.hierynomus.sshj.signature.Ed25519PublicKey.(Ed25519PublicKey.java:37)|

at net.schmizz.sshj.transport.verification.OpenSSHKnownHosts.(OpenSSHKnownHosts.java:62)|
at net.schmizz.sshj.SSHClient.loadKnownHosts(SSHClient.java:648)

Specifically where it invokes spec.getParams().getCurve().

I can see that the build.gradle is specifying, via "Import-Package", "!net.i2p.crypto.eddsa.math", an instruction to not import the package that houses that class. I know the eddsa library doesn't explicitly export the math package, so I am assuming this is why SSHJ doesn't import it, but is this a known limitation within the OSGI context?

My question is, how can I use Ed25519PublicKey in an OSGI context without importing that class? Is my only option to build a custom version of SSHJ that enables that import, assuming I have an equivalent net.i2p.eddsa build that exports that package?

Any help or direction would be really appreciated. Thank you!
