Import-Package should include packages from optional Maven dependencies with
resolution=optional
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-954
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-954
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
Affects Versions: maven-bundle-plugin-1.4.3
Reporter: Pavol Juhos
It would be great if maven-bundle-plugin used resolution=optional for packages
that are coming from _optional_ Maven dependencies.
The current behavior causes problems e.g. when embedding libraries with lots of
optional dependencies. As described by Detelin Yordanov: "[I]t seems that BND
finds the
references to [the optional packages] and assumes them to be mandatory adding a
bunch of imports in the manifest." This can easily result in hundreds of
import-package declarations importing packages that are actually not required
by the application. In these cases it is not practical to handle this manually
in the plug-in / BND configuration.
This issue was already discussed on felix-users list in Jan 2009 -- see thread
"Maven bundle plugin: Is it possible to mark optional Maven dependencies to be
imported with resolition=optional"
