[jira] [Commented] (BEANUTILS-418) OSGi Manifest for BeanUtils should optionally import commons-collections

["Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-418?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13818544#comment-13818544 ] 

Oliver Heger commented on BEANUTILS-418:
----------------------------------------

I agree with Nial. After the removal of the classes originally copied from Collections, the dependency is no longer optional. For instance, {{PropertyUtils}} - a central class of BeanUtils - uses {{FastHashMap}} from Collections.

So I think this issue should be closed as won't fix.

> The docs for BeanUtils clearly state that commons-collections is an optional dependency, but when using Beanutils in OSGi this dependency is actually required. This is due to the fact that the manifest requires the commons-collection packages rather than optionally requires them.
> Please change the import-package header to optionally import the commons collection classes.
