Bernd Eckenfels commented on VFS-498:
-------------------------------------
I found the reference, it is supposed to be implemented in
maven-bundle-plugin:2.3.4 as of
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2809 From that source it seems to
not need an option. Any idea why it is not working?
> 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
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> 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.
