Inconsistency packaging vs. type
--------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-1039
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1039
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
    Affects Versions: maven-bundle-plugin-2.0.0
         Environment: Maven-2.1.0
            Reporter: Thomas Diesler


The Maven Bundle Plugin uses 

  <packaging>bundle</packaging>

Scenario #1 - dependency uses type=bundle

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.osgi</groupId>
      <artifactId>jboss-osgi-common</artifactId>
      <version>${version}</version>
      <type>bundle</type>
    </dependency>

with type=bundle the the dependency is resolved correctly from the the build 
reactor. 
'mvn package' succeeds. Note, the artefact is not yet in the local repository.

Scenario #2 - dependency uses unspecified type 

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.osgi</groupId>
      <artifactId>jboss-osgi-common</artifactId>
      <version>${version}</version>
    </dependency>

'mvn package' fails if the artefact is not yet in the local repository
'mvn install' succeeds

Scenario #3 - the dependent bundle is not part of the reactor build

'mvn package' or 'mvn install' will always fail when the dependency is declared 
with type=bundle

Fazit:

If you declare the dependency with type=bundle, the dependency cannot be 
resolved from the repository.
If you don't declare a dependency type, the dependency can only be resolved 
from the repository. 'mvn package' will fail if the dependency is not in the 
repository.

Workaround:

Don't use type=bundle in the dependency and always install. i.e. 'mvn install'
