well when you're wrapping a glob of code into a bundle it can be useful, otherwise you have to remember to explicitly add optional dependencies or you may end up with a non-working or (more likely) non-useful bundle so it just happened that most people expected optional dependencies to be included by default, and of course once it becomes expected it's hard to change it later ;) > > > > > > -Stephen > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > Cheers, Stuart > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org > -- Cheers, Stuart
