Could you give an example when the package dependencies would not work
and require bundle would?
The maven plugin analyzes the bundle for referenced packages. Required
bundles should export those packages. The use of require bundle is
largely for convenience, it saved you from typing those pesky import
package statements. However, with the plugin this not an issue.
The advantage of import packages is that you get substitutability, if
you later decide to layout your bundles in a different way, or someone
decides to write an adapter for a different environment, things still
work.
Just curious.
Kind regards,

CS> Hi,
CS> I've tried the felix maven 2 plugin to build an Eclipse plugin and saw
