Estimated Complexity: Novice (was: Moderate)
Thanks for the fix
> ASM package are not stated as optional imports in the bundle's MANIFEST

> Key: CXF-1714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1714
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: OSGi
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1, 2.0.7
> Environment: OW2 JOnAS , using CXF in an OSGi gateway (Felix)
> Reporter: Guillaume Sauthier
> Assignee: Daniel Kulp
> Fix For: 2.4.1
>
>
> I've found that the package 'org.objectweb.asm' was in the list of
> Import-Package of the bundle.
> It's not described as optional, even if in the code (I looked at the
> WrapperHelper class) it seems to handle the case where ASM is not present, so
> I cannot deploy the CXF bundle if the gateway do not have the
> 'org.objectweb.asm' package available.
> So it seems logical to add a resolution:=optional statement in the bnd file.
> I have described that issue as a wish because there is a simple workaround:
> simply provide a bundle exporting the right package; but I don't really like
> this solution because, I know, from experience, that ASM is not a easily
> shareable library, because of API incompatibilities, it far more easier to
> embed its privatized version of ASM (using jarjar or the "new"
> maven-shadow-plugin its easy) in a private package: org.apache.cxf.asm. So
> that you don't have to describe the imports because ASM is now part of the
> distribution + you are sure to never have ASM version incompatibilities
> issue. Moreover, the ASM core is really lightweight...
> So to sum up, I have 2 solutions:
> 1. add resolution:=optional to the import statement
> 2. or privatize ASM automatically
> My preference goes to #2 :)
> BTW, does that make sens to have a "Bundle" component in JIRA, or the OSGi
> issues will go to the "Build system" component ?
