> Maven Bundle Plugin automatically marks all packages imported from <optional> dependencies as optional packages in the manifest. There are some cases where one wants to mark a dependency as optional, but still have its packages as mandatory (eg. when you don't want consumers to have said optional dependency in their classpath).
> It would be useful to have a simple flag to turn this behavior off when needed. I've attached a small patch to do just that (the default of course is to keep the current behavior which fits most cases).
