Optional dependencies in the Bundle Plugin for Maven

[Benjamin Rogge <fe...@benjamin-rogge.de>]

Hello,
we are using the Apache Felix Bundle Plugin for Maven (version 2.4.0 
with maven 3.2.1) and are having some trouble with optional 
dependencies. We would like to include the spring-context dependency in 
our bundle. We embed the dependencies with 
<Embed-Dependency>*</Embed-Dependency> and 
<Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive>. However this only includes 
the non-optional dependencies and the optional dependencies are included 
in the <Import-Package> Element. We are wondering, how we can achieve 
one of the following:

1. Either embed all dependencies in a bundle including the optionals.
2. Or mark the resultion of the packages from the optional dependencies 
in the <Import-Package> Element as 'optional'.

We are aware of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-954 and 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2809, but are uncertain, if 
there is a solution for our problems.

Thanks for your help,
Benjamin Rogge
