Make inclusion of "Import-Package:org.osgi.service.blueprint" optional
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-3065
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3065
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
Affects Versions: maven-bundle-plugin-2.3.5
Environment: Any
Reporter: Matt Bishop
The maven-bundle-plugin autoadds an "Import-Package:org.osgi.service.blueprint"
directive in the manifest. This makes sense, as you want your blueprint
dependencies to be manged once blueprint is loaded.
However, if one is using Gemini for blueprint service, this package is never
exported. This means that the bundle will never be loaded. I have filed a bug
with Gemini on this topic already, but it leads developers to workarounds like
this in the bundle <configuration> section:
<Import-Package>
javax.inject,
org.apache.commons.lang;version="[2.6,3)",
org.slf4j;version="[1.6,2)",
!org.osgi.service.blueprint
</Import-Package>
This is a pain because you have to explicitly declare every import package
manually rather than having the bundle plugin work it's auto-import-package
magic.
