Matt Bishop commented on BEANUTILS-418:
---------------------------------------

I worked through this issue on my machine and have create the following modification to commons-beanutils/pom.xml:


          <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
              <configuration>
                  <instructions>
                      <Import-Package>
                          org.apache.commons.collections;resolution:=optional,
                          org.apache.commons.collections.comparators;resolution:=optional,
                          org.apache.commons.collections.keyvalue;resolution:=optional,
                          org.apache.commons.collections.list;resolution:=optional,
                          org.apache.commons.collections.set;resolution:=optional,
                          *
                      </Import-Package>
                  </instructions>
              </configuration>
          </plugin>

This needs to go in the <plugins> section of <build>. It overrides the default bundle plugin in commons-parent pom.

>             Project: Commons BeanUtils
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Bean / Property Utils
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.3
>         Environment: Any OSGi environment
>            Reporter: Matt Bishop
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The docs for BeanUtils clearly state that commons-collections is an optional dependency, but when using Beanutils in OSGi this dependency is actually required. This is due to the fact that the manifest requires the commons-collection packages rather than optionally requires them.
> Please change the import-package header to optionally import the commons collection classes.
