Alexander Klimetschek commented on FELIX-2016:
----------------------------------------------
I agree, that behavior is completely different from what you expect when seeing
it and reading the documentation.
I think "Embed-Transitive" can be dropped (it seems quite useless to me, since
you and replaced by adding a directive on items in the Embed-Dependency list.
Because in many cases you embed multiple libraries, but don't want transitive
embeds for all of them:
<Embed-Dependency>
libraryA;transitive=true,
libraryB
</Embed-Dependency>
And then maybe also allow exclusions on the individual transitive dependency
"trees":
<Embed-Dependency>
libraryA;transitive=true;exclude=foo;exclude=bar,
libraryB
</Embed-Dependency>
This is more intuitive than the wildcard + scope approach, which is the
"simplest" way to get things running. From experience, it is always a huge lot
of work and fiddling when embedding libraries.

> Key: FELIX-2016
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2016
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Maven Bundle Plugin
> Affects Versions: maven-bundle-plugin-2.0.1
> Reporter: Michael Dürig
>
> <Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive> only includes the transitive
> dependencies when Embed-Dependency contains a wildcard pattern (i.e.
> <Embed-Dependency>*</Embed-Dependency>). Otherwise only the direct
> dependencies of the ones specified in the Embed-Dependency tag are included.
