I noticed that in the version 2.2.0 (and later) there is no automatic import

the plugin version is set to 2.1.0, all exported packages are imported.
Is there any way to fix this, some new bnd instruction maybe?
2.2.0 and later use a new version of Bnd, which uses the following rules to
decide whether to import an exported package:
"An export is automatically imported when the following are true:
* There exists at least one reference to the exported package from a
private package
* The exported package has no references to any private packages
* The exported package does not have a -noimport: directive."
[ from: http://www.aqute.biz/Bnd/Versioning ]
Is there a particular problem caused by the lack of imports, or do you just
prefer to always import your exported packages?
Just for some background info, always importing your exports leads to
odd situations. For example, if you are simply providing a library
bundle, then importing your exports doesn't really make sense because it
will often result in your exported packages being shadowed (and thus
unavailable to anyone) if another newer version is available.
Additionally, if there are internal implementation dependencies on your
exported packages, then importing them will likely break your bundle.
The new rules above try to more accurately detect these sorts of situations.

Note that you can always try a later version of Bnd with the current
bundleplugin as follows:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.4</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>biz.aQute</groupId>
<artifactId>bndlib</artifactId>
<version>1.43.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<!-- ...etc... -->
</plugin>
Just in case Peter releases an updated version that you want to test and you
can't wait for a bundleplugin release.
