[jira] [Closed] (FELIX-4107) Allow to specify import version range
only for the case the package is needed
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Stuart McCulloch closed FELIX-4107.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
BTW, the current options when specifying package imports are:
1. Wildcard, such as the default * - can also use ? to match a single character rather than * (multiple)
2. Explicit without a wildcard - no expansion, always added
3. Bnd macro $(...) - see http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Macros, very powerful but can be tricky to get right
You can also use negation to select all subpackages except for certain ones, for example:
com.foo.*, !com.foo.internal.*
If you have a example that cannot be solved by one of the above options please raise it on the users list or attach the example project to an issue on JIRA.

> As StuartMcCulloch has shown in http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/felix-users/201304.mbox/%3C70A7020D-CEF0-4E3D-811B-4CDC88ED4DB0@gmail.com%3E is is possible to specify the impor range in a parent without causing unneded imports if this is spcified with a wildcard. While in many cases this can be used in some cases this is not possible as using a wildcard would broaden the matching packages too much.
> A possible solution could look like: if the package name is specified betwen square brackets then it is only added to the final manifest if it is actually needed by the bundle (i.e. would be part of the auto-generated imports).
