[jira] [Commented] (YETUS-59) Verify any Cat X runtime dependencies are optional

["Sean Busbey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-59?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14935167#comment-14935167 ] 

Sean Busbey commented on YETUS-59:
----------------------------------

I'd be more comfortable with us meeting the spirit of the policy if users had to expressly opt-in to having plugins with cat-X runtime dependencies run. Having output like "ERROR Foo is not installed" reads like the user is expected to install it, IMO.

> So relying on bash as a platform is fine, but we should make sure e.g. findbugs is optional.
