How to use BundleWiring.findEntries() on system bundle?

I am trying to find a set of package names in all OSGi modules by using BundleWiring's findEntries() method. For all other modules, I can simply run

bundleWiring.findEntries("/" + packageName, "*.class", 2)

to get the URL's to all classes in that package.

The problem is this approach doesn't work for OSGi System Bundle (bundle 0). Through the classloader I was able to see that the classes I want are in tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/x.jar, but how can I find the path to those classes if I am only given System Bundle as a bundle?

The packages are exported in system.packages.extra.mf

This is not possible because the system bundle is just the "outside" of OSGi. You can use an arbitrary ClassLoader to load the OSGi Framework, and ClassLoaders don't have a way to iterate the packages or classes that they know about.
