Very interesting case, that _I_ have not thought of. It essentially mean that we can't leverage the <scope> for determining whether it should be inserted into the Bundle or expected to come from elsewhere. Would it work better if one says; If the dependency HAS packaging!=osgi-bundle AND scope!=provided AND scope!=test then it should BE ADDED into the bundle jar. Cheers Niclas
