-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add flag to mark transitive dependencies with dependency="true"
                 Key: KARAF-6418
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-6418
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: karaf
    Affects Versions: 4.2.6
            Reporter: Nelson Antunes


The karaf-maven-plugin doesn't allow to specify whether bundle is dependency or not solely via pom dependencies. Maintaining a manual feature file with all the current dependencies seems troublesome.

Adding a flag {{markTransitiveAsDependency}} indicating whether the plugin should mark transitive dependencies' bundle elements as a dependency would solve the problem. It should defaults to {{false}} to keep the current behaviour and also only have an effect when {{includeTransitiveDependency}} is {{true}}.

For consistency we should also add a {{markRuntimeScopeAsDependency}} flag, similarly indicating whether the plugin should also mark dependencies' with the _runtime_ scope, despite the fact that behaviour doesn't seem to be working ([#KARAF-4537|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4537]).

{color:#505f79}Side notes:{color}

{color:#505f79}Isn't the {{DependencyHelper31}} effectively filtering-out dependencies with the scope "provided", rendering the {{ignoreScopeProvided}} flag useless? ([Dependency31Helper.java#L231|https://github.com/pentaho/karaf/blob/master/tooling/karaf-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/tooling/utils/Dependency31Helper.java#L231)]{color}

{color:#505f79}Also, isn't it making the {{simplifyBundleDependencies}} flag useless, by always removing feature transitive dependencies regardless? ([Dependency31Helper.java#L225|https://github.com/pentaho/karaf/blob/master/tooling/karaf-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/tooling/utils/Dependency31Helper.java#L225)]{color}
