features-maven-plugin doesn't add transitive dependency if not a bundle

[kato <Ja...@smartstream-stp.com>]

Hi,
I'm new to serviceMix and have been having trouble with dependencies. 

I’m using ServiceMix 4.4 on Windows XP with Java 1.6.

I am trying to create a features.xml using the features-maven-plugin version
2.2.5. The project has about 10 dependencies and then another 20-30
transitive dependencies.

The plugin seems to build the file, but the file does not have all the
dependencies. 

There are several WARNINGs produced during the creation, e.g. 

[WARNING]   Unable to find suitable bundle for dependency
org.aopalliance.aop ([1.0.0,2.0.0)) (required by spring-aop)

This seems to prevent the addition of the dependency to the features file.
This warning seems strange for 2 reasons:

1)	The plugin seems to require the transitive dependency to exist as a
bundle, while the direct dependencies can be normal JARs
2)	The aopalliance/aop dependency is specified using the aopalliance groupId
and not org.aopalliance

Here is the relevant text from my pom.xml:

I have tried adding the <kernelVersion> configuration. This reduces the
features in my features file, so that they do not install:

karaf@root> features:list | grep repo
[uninstalled] [4.10           ] junit                                repo-0

karaf@root> features:install spring-jdbc/3.1.0.RELEASE

[294]: Unable to resolve 294.0: missing requirement [294.0] package;

Can someone please explain what I am missing? How can I create a
features.xml with all the dependencies from my project?

Also, why is there a difference when adding the <kernelVersion>
configuration?

Thanks for any help
Kato
