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

["Oliver Heger (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13219564#comment-13219564 ] 

Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-482:
--------------------------------------------

The generation of the manifest is done by the maven bundle plug-in. It would be cool if this plug-in could evaluate the optional tags automatically.

> 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.
