I completely agree with that. I'm fed-up to handcraft jar files to include a couple of classes, then update and repeat the process each time a new release is available, but I don't want a 2 MB jar inside my own bundle to use 10 utility classes...

In general I would like to have the possibility, when creating a bundle, to specify which dependencies should be provided at runtime and which ones will be embedded. When embedding dependencies, I'd like to have the choice to either "embed for private use" or "embed and export". An option when embedding would definitely be to embed only those parts of a dependency that you actually use (which mainly applies to the "embed for private use" case. This extension seems to be heading in the above direction, so to me it's a very nice first step. Greetings, Marcel On Jul 13, 2006, at 17:10 , Richard S.
