             Summary: Add "DynamicImport-Package: *" when using install-bundle 
command to transform a jar into a bundle
                 Key: GERONIMO-6353
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6353
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: deployment
    Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-1, 3.0
            Reporter: Forrest Xia
            Assignee: Forrest Xia
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.0


Think this scenario:
User has a custom Tomcat Valve class to be defined via server.xml, first he 
generated a jar from an IDE, then use install-bundle command to install into 
the server, then the user defines the valve in the server.xml to use.

This scenario introduces a cycle dependencies relationship between the user 
bundle and Tomcat bundles. 
1. To resolve the user bundle, the Tomcat bundles need to be resolved first
2. To start Geronimo Tomcat module, the user bundle needs to be resolved first.

Currently, the install-bundle command add "resolution:=optional" properties to 
the installed user bundle, though the user bundle could be started when server 
boot, but if the there are packages cannot be resolved with 
"resolution:=optional", those packages won't be resolved anymore.

An improvement is to add "DynamicImport-Package: *" header to the generated 
menifest.
