luke w patterson commented on FELIX-899:
----------------------------------------

Good to know.  I would never have imagined bnd would find useful information 
from the runtime-only deps.

"Now because Bnd can detect certain indirect uses of packages, it could add 
imports for code that you don't need at compile time but would need at runtime"

I'm trying to imagine an example of that.  (I probably just don't understand 
all the scenarios where it would add imports)  My guess is that it would be for 
the situation where a class was interacted with exclusively through reflection. 
 If that's the case, on the Maven side the runtime dep is considered to be 
"required" anyway so I wonder why it wouldn't just be directly coded to instead 
of through reflection.  Like I said, I must be missing some fundamental 
background information in this area.


Where did you learn those finer details of what bnd is capable of?  I tried the 
usual, the bnd homepage, but it didn't explain exactly which scenarios package 
imports would and wouldn't be auto-detected.


Thanks,

Luke

>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
>         Environment: Maven version: 2.0.9
> Java version: 1.6.0_11
> OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.25-gentoo-r7" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix"
>            Reporter: Brian Atkinson

> I have been using and testing out the 
> maven-bundle-plugin-1.5.0-20081205.125536-1 (SNAPSHOT) and ran across what I 
> believe is a bug.
> Suppose there is a project a:a:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.  This project has a single 
> class: a.a.A.  The bundle plugin has the following instructions:
> <instructions>
>       
> <_versionpolicy>[$${version;===;$...@}},$${version;=+;$...@}})</_versionpolicy>
>       
> <Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment>JavaSE-1.6</Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment>
>       
> <Export-Package>$${replace;${Bundle-SymbolicName};\W;.}.*;version=${project.version}</Export-Package>
> </instructions>
> This results in an Export-Package line of:
> Export-Package: a.a;version="1.0.0.SNAPSHOT"
> So far so good.  Now suppose there is a project b:b:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.  This 
> project depends on a:a:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (scope: provided) and the project also 
> has a single class b.b.B which extends a.a.A.  The maven-bundle-plugin is 
> given the same instructions as project a:a above.  The resulting 
> Import-Package line is:
> Import-Package: a.a,b.b;version="[1.0.0,1.1)"
> This is not what is expected.  What is expected is the following:
> Import-Package: a.a;version="[1.0.0,1.1)",b.b;version="[1.0.0,1.1)"
> Digging into the code I found that in 
> org.apache.felix.bundleplugin.BundlePlugin (trunk rev: 723704) in function 
> "protected Jar[] getClasspath( MavenProject currentProject ) throws 
> ZipException, IOException" line 708 reads:
> final Collection artifacts = getSelectedDependencies( 
> currentProject.getArtifacts() );
> When the plugin is running "currentProject.getArtifacts()" returns an empty 
> set.  This then causes the classpath not to be set properly when calling BND 
> (none of the dependencies are available for reading their manifests).  I 
> changed the line to use "currentProject.getDependencyArtifacts()" and the 
> manifest for b:b was correct.
> I am going to attach a file with two very simple projects which mirror what I 
> have described here.
