Basically, my web service must be deployable as a single OSGi jar bundle. Therefore:

  1. The bundle must contain all compile and runtime maven dependencies.
  2. It must also contain all non-optional dependencies that depend on those dependencies (i.e., the transitive dependencies).

I’m attempting to use the maven-bundle-plugin to accomplish this. I’ve used Embed-Dependency to get all my compile and runtime dependencies in the bundle, and I’ve used Embed-Transitive to embed all the transitive dependencies. I then figured out how to use excludeDependencies to exclude Maven dependencies from the BND classpath (they are moved to Private-Package in the Manifest), but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get it to exclude the transitive dependencies. No matter what I do, the transitive dependencies still seem to show up in the Import-Package list in the Manifest.

Worse, it seems to suck in ALL dependencies including optional ones so I get lots of extra stuff I don’t use like ibatis and jfree. Yet, when I add ;optional=false to the dependency pattern, I get a warning that no dependencies matched the pattern.

I started trying to exclude dependencies one by one but after an hour of chasing down dependencies I decided there had to be a better way.

This is the current incarnation of my pom.xml. Can anyone help me resolve this?
