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

Arik Kfir created FELIX-4372:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Allow importing packages as mandatory from optional POM dependencies
                 Key: FELIX-4372
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4372
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
    Affects Versions: maven-bundle-plugin-2.4.0
            Reporter: Arik Kfir
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: maven-bundle-plugin-2.4.1


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).
