-------------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce feature configuration to ignore effective
capability in the resolver
Key: KARAF-6605
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-6605
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: karaf
Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
Fix For: 4.3.0
The specification says:
The OSGi framework resolver only considers Capabilities without an effective
directive or effective:=resolve. Capabilities with other values for the
effective directive can be considered by an external agent.
The effectiveness active is a convention commonly used for situations that do
not need to be resolved by the OSGi framework but are relevant in using the
resolver for assembling applications.
The feature resolver considers the capability as a strong requirement, whatever
if it's effective or not.
I think it makes sense to consider this capability requirement for the build,
but runtime could consider effective capability as optional.
It would be great to either update the features resolver that way or add a
configuration in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg defining strong or optional
requirement for effective cap.
