             Summary: Subpackage extraction should not add parent dependency if 
no content
                 Key: JCRVLT-145
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-145
             Project: Jackrabbit FileVault
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Packaging
    Affects Versions: 3.1.30
            Reporter: Tobias Bocanegra
            Assignee: Tobias Bocanegra
             Fix For: 3.1.32


The the sub-package extraction mechanism automatically adds the parent packages 
as dependency to the subpackages. this is important if the parent package 
contains content that is required by the subpackages, thus the former way 
created an implicit dependency.

if the parent package has no own content and is only used a container package, 
this dependency is not required and even might cause to problems in certain 
cases.

suggest:
- on subpackage extraction, check if the parent package specifies content in 
the filter
- if no content is specified, to create dependency
- if no content is specified, the package can every be marked as installed.
