Probably I was not clear before. So would try to explain it through an example. Have a look at oak-core [1]
1. Non OSGi Usecase - Any other Maven module which depends on oak-core should not require the osgi related jars at runtime. To support that case the org.osgi.core dependency has been marked as optional. Its fine to have the osgi metadata in the manifest file but osgi related jar should not be part of runtime classpath 2. OSGi Usecase - In osgi env the packages related to osgi core should be required and not marked as optional Now if I mark the org.osgi.core dependency as optional (#1) the maven-bundle-plugin would mark packages from it as optional which conflicts with #2. So I am looking for a way to achieve both #1 and #2 Chetan Mehrotra [1] https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-core/pom.xml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@felix.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@felix.apache.org
