[jira] Commented: (FELIX-2110) The resolver should be able to resolve for some requirements in addition to resources

["Richard S. Hall (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2110?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12836121#action_12836121 ] 

Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-2110:
----------------------------------------

I'm hesitant to start adding variations of things that are already possible. If you just create a fake resource that has no content associated with it, then it cannot be deploy. If the current implementation errors in this situation, that is an easy fix.

> Another way would be to create a fake resource with the requirement.  This works as long as you don't want to actually install, because the resolver would then need a real resource.  So in all cases, the resolver need to know about those resources, so it may be easier to let him create and handle those completely.
