In JBDS, when a Maven dependency is recognized by Swithchyard and not used, a warning "Unused Capability: The '%s' capability is configured on the project, but is not required by any SwitchYard binding or implementation types used in the project.", with the resource warned being META-INF/switchyard.xml. If the developer wants to use the capability, then of course it's going to be present in META-INF/switchyard.xml and then the resource is useless, whereas if the capability is unnecessary, the change must be made in pom.xml or SwitchYard / Configure Capabilities (which changes the POM), and in that case the resource is wrong.
