Tuomas Kiviaho commented on FELIX-2809:
---------------------------------------
Just reporting my observations here even though the issue has been resolved
long time ago.
I believe that there are no such things as transitively included optional
dependencies, so the latter of the patches wouldn't have an effect that I think
was intended.
More of a problem is a scenario where Import-Packages ends up with references
to optional dependencies of transitive dependencies. resteasy-jaws for instance
contains optional TJWS dependency plus classes referencing to it. There is no
way that BND could separate packages of these unwanted classes from packages of
required classes.
It could be possible to seek though the dependency tree and gather optional
dependencies of transitive dependencies, pass them to BND as well in such
manner that generated possibility of "split packages" issue is taken care of.
Later on packages of gathered dependencies can be removed from list actual
packages of project itself and it's transitive dependencies (provided that
aftifact files of each required dependency are present)
> maven-bundle-plugin should automatically add "resolution:=optional" to
> imported packages that are in optional maven dependencies.
