[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-4107) Allow to specify import version
range only for the case the package is needed
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13677878#comment-13677878 ]
Reto Bachmann-Gmür commented on FELIX-4107:
-------------------------------------------
I just found out that foo.bar.* matches foo.bar so that I can specify the range on that and don't need to broaden it to foo.* as I thought.

> As StuartMcCulloch has shown in http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/felix-users/201304.mbox/%3C70A7020D-CEF0-4E3D-811B-4CDC88ED4DB0@gmail.com%3E is is possible to specify the impor range in a parent without causing unneded imports if this is spcified with a wildcard. While in many cases this can be used in some cases this is not possible as using a wildcard would broaden the matching packages too much.
> A possible solution could look like: if the package name is specified betwen square brackets then it is only added to the final manifest if it is actually needed by the bundle (i.e. would be part of the auto-generated imports).
