+hibernate-osgi Test Debugging
+=============================
+
+Here's a quick tip for debugging hibernate-osgi test failures.  Sometimes, a dependency or code change will result
+in an error that looks like the following:
+
+    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: *** Class 'org.hibernate.osgi.test.OsgiTestCase' was not found, but
+    this is likely normal since package 'org.hibernate.osgi.test' is dynamically imported by bundle
+    arquillian-osgi-bundle [5]. However, bundle hibernate-osgi-test [20] does export this package with attributes that
+    do not match. ***
+
+That error is extremely misleading and is not the actual problem.  To get to the root issue, open this file:
+
+    hibernate-osgi/target/test-results/TEST-org.hibernate.osgi.test.OsgiTestCase.xml
+
+The root issue will usually be embedded half-way through.  More often than not, searching for
+*org.osgi.framework.BundleException* will find it.
