Hi, I'm encountering an issue when using both iPOJO and BND.
I'm using BND to figure which packages should be required by the bundle. BND, when inspecting the class' bytecode, won't consider annotations having retention policies other than RUNTIME, which is the case of @Provides. This seems to make sense - if they're not available at run time, there is no reason to be requiring them. However if the package of the interface isn't imported by the extension, iPOJO will fail instancing the POJO since it wasn't required by the extension. The reason the interface isn't used anywhere else is that the class itself extends an abstract class which is not provided by the bundle - BND is not supposed to be importing other than by inspecting the annotation. Am I doing something wrong? The way I see it, either: - the iPOJO task should be adding the required packages in the Import-package clause - the Provides annotation could have a runtime retention policy in order for BND (or other bytecode inspecting tool) to be able to know it has to consider the classes it specifies - I could inspect the manifest and look for the iPojo specifications, and add the corresponding packages if they're not already there The first option seems to be the most sensible one, but I'm not sure. Did I miss something? Thanks for your input, Regards, Rémy
