[jboss-osgi-dev] DOSGi import issue

Hi all, I was looking again at getting CXF-DOSGi working on AS7.2 master and came across the following issue. There are a fairly large number of bundles. One bundle (spring-context) has an optional import on another bundle (optionally imports package org.springframework.aop.support). However in this use-case the import isn't actually optional in that the total system doesn't work without this optional import. Now when it goes through resolution (in AS7/OSGi) of spring-context the bundle exporting org.springframwork.aop.support is actually already installed (and started). Still when debugging through the linking process of spring-context, the optional import isn't provided (it's not in the the list of dependencies provided to Module.link()). So I'm wondering about this. On the one hand, since the import is optional it seems like what it does is allowable. On the other hand you'd expect that it attempts to at least import all optional imports that are available at resolution time. Any thoughts? Cheers, David
