Michael Schnell created VFS-498:
-----------------------------------
Summary: OSGI MANIFEST.MF "Import-Package" should be
";resolution:=optional" for Maven "optional" dependencies
Key: VFS-498
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-498
Project: Commons VFS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Michael Schnell
In the Maven "pom.xml" there are several "optional" dependencies like "jsch":
{quote}
<dependency>
<groupId>com.jcraft</groupId>
<artifactId>jsch</artifactId>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
{quote}
In the "Import-Package" section of the MANIFEST.MF it should also be "optional"
like this:
{quote}
com.jcraft.jsch;resolution:=optional,
{quote}
At the moment all dependencies are always required. This is a problem if you
want to use VFS in an OSGI environment as you have to install ALL dependencies
and not only the ones you really need.
The mechanism creating the MANIFEST should be adjusted to reflect the optional
dependencies also in the MANIFEST. This could be done for example by using
"maven-bundle-plugin" to automate the generation.
