  *                      are not available to applications at    *

  When running on Java version 7 attempts to use classes from
  the packages javax.swing.plaf.nimbus, javax.xml.ws.spi.http,
  or javax.xml.ws.wsaddressing in an application will fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem is resolved by making the packages introduced in
  Java version 7 available from the system to applications.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.3. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
  for delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• It is possible to make the packages available to an
  application by adding them manually as values of the
  org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra property in the
  bootstrap.properties file in the server configuration
  location. For example to add the javax.xml.ws.wsaddressing
  package use the property:
  org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra=javax.xml.ws.wsaddressi
  ng;ibm-api-type=spec
