>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.2
>            Reporter: Arnaud MERGEY

> In the Maven "pom.xml" there are several "optional" dependencies like "jsch":
> {quote}
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>com.jcraft</groupId>
>       <artifactId>jsch</artifactId>
>       <optional>true</optional>
>     </dependency>
> {quote}
> In the "Import-Package" section of the MANIFEST.MF it should also be "optional" like this:
> {quote}
> com.jcraft.jsch;resolution:=optional,
> {quote}
> At the moment all dependencies are always required. This is a problem if you want to use VFS in an OSGI environment as you have to install ALL dependencies and not only the ones you really need.
> The mechanism creating the MANIFEST should be adjusted to reflect the optional dependencies also in the MANIFEST. (Unfortunatelly this could mean to list all packages which should be optional).
