No, I think they are marked as provided because they are actually embedded in the shell/console bundle. I also sometime have problems in the ide which does not really use the created bundle, so i think one way around that might be to have maven extract the content of those jars in the target/classes, so that the ide can actually pick it up. I think I've already done such thing in some project .... > (2) Any idea why the OSGi core dependency is of "provided" scope yet it is > being included in the eclipse descriptors generated by Maven but these jline > and jansi deps are not? The osgi-core dependency is marked as provided because it will actually be provided by the framework in all cases. Not sure really why is it treated differently though, maybe because the dependency is added on most of the modules directly ? > > (3) What do other eclipse users on the dev team do to handle these missing > dependencies in the generated eclipse descriptors? I'll let others answer. I'm using intelij since a long time now, but now that it's free, i don't feel compelled to switch back to Eclipse. > > Regards, > -- > Alex Karasulu > My Blog :: http://www.jroller.com/akarasulu/ > Apache Directory Server :: http://directory.apache.org > Apache MINA :: http://mina.apache.org > To set up a meeting with me: http://tungle.me/AlexKarasulu > -- Cheers, Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/ ------------------------ Open Source SOA http://fusesource.com
