Oliver Heger commented on BEANUTILS-418:
----------------------------------------
I agree with Nial. After the removal of the classes originally copied from
Collections, the dependency is no longer optional. For instance,
{{PropertyUtils}} - a central class of BeanUtils - uses {{FastHashMap}} from
Collections.
So I think this issue should be closed as won't fix.
> OSGi Manifest for BeanUtils should optionally import commons-collections
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: BEANUTILS-418
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-418
> Project: Commons BeanUtils
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Bean / Property Utils
> Affects Versions: 1.8.3
> Environment: Any OSGi environment
> Reporter: Matt Bishop
> Priority: Minor
>
> The docs for BeanUtils clearly state that commons-collections is an optional
> dependency, but when using Beanutils in OSGi this dependency is actually
> required. This is due to the fact that the manifest requires the
> commons-collection packages rather than optionally requires them.
> Please change the import-package header to optionally import the commons
> collection classes.
