-------------------------------------
Summary: Add flag to mark transitive dependencies with
dependency="true"
Key: KARAF-6418
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-6418
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: karaf
Affects Versions: 4.2.6
Reporter: Nelson Antunes
The karaf-maven-plugin doesn't allow to specify whether bundle is dependency or
not solely via pom dependencies. Maintaining a manual feature file with all the
current dependencies seems troublesome.
Adding a flag {{markTransitiveAsDependency}} indicating whether the plugin
should mark transitive dependencies' bundle elements as a dependency would
solve the problem. It should defaults to {{false}} to keep the current
behaviour and also only have an effect when {{includeTransitiveDependency}} is
{{true}}.
For consistency we should also add a {{markRuntimeScopeAsDependency}} flag,
similarly indicating whether the plugin should also mark dependencies' with the
_runtime_ scope, despite the fact that behaviour doesn't seem to be working
([#KARAF-4537|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4537]).

{color:#505f79}Side notes:{color}
{color:#505f79}Isn't the {{DependencyHelper31}} effectively filtering-out
dependencies with the scope "provided", rendering the {{ignoreScopeProvided}}
flag useless?

{color:#505f79}Also, isn't it making the {{simplifyBundleDependencies}} flag
useless, by always removing feature transitive dependencies regardless?
