[jira] [Updated] (FELIX-4372) Allow importing packages as mandatory from optional POM dependencies

["Arik Kfir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4372?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Arik Kfir updated FELIX-4372:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: optional-packages.patch

This patch adds a boolean flag called "inferOptionalPackagesFromDependencies" (a little long, for lack of a better name, feel free to change of course) 

Default value is "true" which keeps current behavior unmodified. When "false", it simply does not mark packages from <optional> dependencies as "resolution: optional".

> 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).
