[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-482) Optional dependencies are not marked optional in the manifest's Import-Package section

["Chris Seieroe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13262885#comment-13262885 ] 

Chris Seieroe commented on CONFIGURATION-482:
---------------------------------------------

Perhaps there's a bug with maven-bundle-plugin that doesn't automatically add optional in this case. As a workaround, I added the following property to the pom.xml file and forced "resolution:=optional" on those optional dependencies. That seemed to do the trick.

<commons.osgi.import>
	org.apache.commons.beanutils.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.commons.digester.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.commons.collections.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.commons.codec.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.commons.jxpath.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.xml.resolver.*;resolution:=optional,
	javax.servlet.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.commons.jexl2.*;resolution:=optional,
	org.apache.commons.vfs2.*;resolution:=optional,
	*
</commons.osgi.import>

> The following page lists the runtime dependencies based on the components. This is reflected in the pom file since many are listed as optional (e.g. commons-jexl). However, if you want to use commons-configuration in an OSGi container, those become required because the corresponding packages are listed in the manifest's Import-Package section. They do not have the "resolution:=optional" qualifier on it so you get an error if you do not include something like commons-jexl yourself.
