Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-3065:
------------------------------------------
The import for the blueprint package is generated because the class analyzer of
the BND library identified at least one class using the blueprint library. If
you don't import it that class (or these classes) will probably never be able
to be loaded.
This may or may not be fine, the bundle plugin cannot decide (just with any
other package).
What you can do, though is to just exclude the blueprint package and have the
bundle plugin resolve the rest using this:
<Import-Package>
!org.osgi.service.blueprint,
*
</Import-Package>
The asterisk does the trick
> 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.
