Hi there,

It the last versions of karaf, feature's bundles can be marked with 
dependency="true" attribute.
It seems that such a bundles will not be resolved when installing a new feature.

For example I have third party feature cxf

<feature name="cxf">
        ...
        <bundle 
dependency="true">mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.jdom/1.1_3</bundle>
        <bundle 
dependency="true">mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.dom4j/1.6.1_2</bundle>
        <bundle 
dependency="true">mvn:org.apache.servicemix.bundles/org.apache.servicemix.bundles.xstream/1.3_3</bundle>
        ...
</feature>

And in my feature I would like to add a reference to this cxf feature

<feature name="my-feature">
    <feature>cxf</feature>
</feature>

When I'm trying to install my-feature I would like the bundles marked as 
dependencies in cxf feature to be resolved because I'm getting exceptions like
"Requested factory com.ctc.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory cannot be located", etc.

I don't like my feature to depend from "dependencies" of third party features 
explicitly, because it does not use them.

Is it possible to force third party features to resolve their dependencies?

Best Regards,
Sergey Zhemzhitsky
