Alin Dreghiciu commented on FELIX-255:
--------------------------------------

I think this two can go hand-in-hand. If the dependency plugin is the solution then also this will be solved. But as in FELIX-262 is too verbose. At least to me...

> Most of the time (at least in the cases I had) you would like to wrap only
> the content of the jar you are targeting and not also the transitive
> dependencies that the targeted jar has. You can do this in at least two
> ways:
> 1. add <exclusions> to the dependency. This is verbose for the case that the
> targeted jar has extensive dependencies and irrelevant to the process of
> wrapping
> 2. set the Export-package directive  to export only those packages that you
> want. here you have to know the internals of the package and if the jar has
> some resources as licences, xmls' outside the main package you have to add
> them one by one.
> So, here I am proposing a new configuration option: excludeTransitive that
> is suppose to exclude the transitive artifacts if set to true.
> An example implementation can be found at the following location:
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/xref/org/apache/maven/plugin/dependency/utils/filters/TransitivityFilter.html
> Alin Dreghiciu
> PS. Maven does not support a property of the articat as isTransitive()
