> Key: VELOCITY-768
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-768
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 1.7-beta1
> Reporter: Matt Ryall
> Fix For: 1.7
>
> Attachments: VELOCITY-768_mark_optional_deps_in_manifest_v1.patch

>
> Trying to use the Velocity 1.7-beta1 JAR in our OSGi container (Felix running
> in Atlassian Confluence), we ran into dependency problems because all the
> dependencies of Velocity are marked as mandatory.
> As you would know, Velocity has a logging abstraction which allows different
> logging frameworks to be used. Likewise, you don't need the servlet API to
> use Velocity. However, these dependencies are marked as required in the new
> OSGi manifest added in VELOCITY-694. This causes the bundle to fail to start
> because the dependencies are missing.
> From our testing, we could use Velocity in our application just fine with
> following imports changed to be optional:
> * com.werken.xpath
> * javax.servlet
> * javax.servlet.http
> * org.apache.commons.logging
> * org.apache.log
> * org.apache.log.format
> * org.apache.log.output.io
> * org.apache.log4j
> * org.apache.oro.text.perl
> * org.apache.tools.ant
> * org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs
> * org.jdom
> * org.jdom.input
> * org.jdom.output
> That means changing the current Import-Package declaration from this:
> Import-Package: com.werken.xpath,
> javax.naming,
> javax.servlet,
> javax.servlet.http,
> javax.sql,
> org.apache.commons.collections,
> org.apache.commons.collections.map,
> org.apache.commons.lang,
> org.apache.commons.lang.builder,
> org.apache.commons.lang.text,
> org.apache.commons.logging,
> org.apache.log,
> org.apache.log.format,
> org.apache.log.output.io,
> org.apache.log4j,
> org.apache.oro.text.perl,
> org.apache.tools.ant,
> org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs,
> org.jdom,
> org.jdom.input,
> org.jdom.output,
> org.xml.sax
> to this:
> Import-Package: com.werken.xpath;resolution:=optional,
> javax.naming,
> javax.servlet;resolution:=optional,
> javax.servlet.http;resolution:=optional,
> javax.sql,
> org.apache.commons.collections,
> org.apache.commons.collections.map,
> org.apache.commons.lang,
> org.apache.commons.lang.builder,
> org.apache.commons.lang.text,
> org.apache.commons.logging;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.log;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.log.format;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.log.output.io;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.log4j;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.oro.text.perl;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.tools.ant;resolution:=optional,
> org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs;resolution:=optional,
> org.jdom;resolution:=optional,
> org.jdom.input;resolution:=optional,
> org.jdom.output;resolution:=optional,
> org.xml.sax
> I'll prepare a patch against trunk and attach it shortly.
