[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-3877) Transitive optional dependencies add non-optional Import-Packages

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3877?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13565412#comment-13565412 ] 

Xavier Courangon commented on FELIX-3877:
-----------------------------------------

A messy workaround is to add these optional transitive dependencies as direct optional dependencies.

> When a Maven dependency is marked optional, the imported packages are optional also as expected.
> But it this is not true for transitive dependencies of embedded dependencies the imported packages are not optional. The Bundle cannot start.
