Import Havoc
Hello,
Before anything else, let me just say it out loud - This is my first project with maven and the maven-bundle-plugin. It hasn't been easy, the learning curve seems to be really steep.
I am working using Servicemix, osgi, spring and camel as a part of my stack. I wish to create a bundle which would include all my maven dependencies and import a few classes. The problem here is, the overall ecosystem of classes is pretty huge. I cannot say <Import-Packages>*</Import-Packages> because that includes classes which are not required. I cannot say <Import-Packages>!*,xyz,abc</Import-Packages> because package names like org.apache.* are not being accepted(not sure why). So basically, I have been building, deploying, getting errors about missing imports, adding the missing imports to the <Import-Packages> and this has been going on for some time. In my good sense, clearly, I am doing something wrong.
Please point me in the right direction, I have looked at maven-assembly, maven-jar, maven-dependency but I do not understand how all of these are supposed to work together dynamically. Few examples would be a great help, the documentation doesn't seem to help.
Thanks!
San

Well, you can use wildcards (e.g., !org.unneeded.*,*), but otherwise you
have to list them. It is not possible for the plugin to guess what your
bundle doesn't really need if its code is actually using the packages.

Thank you for replying. This is exactly where my problem lies, there are too many unwanted imports and it seems like an overkill. I assume that there is a better solution that removing imports one by one?

Not sure I understand, but Maven Bundle Plugin will automatically
generate imports for the external packages your bundle uses. If you want
to omit some packages because they aren't actually needed by your bundle
at run time, then do something like this:
<Import-Package>!org.foo.unneeded,*</Import-Package>
Which will tell BND to not import org.foo.unneeded, but to import
everything else.
