Question

I am trying to use the Apache Commons JCI library in an OSGi Bundle being built by maven.
I install the bundle on Apache Felix and everything looks fine until I try to start my Component which is when I get the error below. My pom.xml looks like:

<Embed-Dependency>jtidy;scope=compile|runtime;inline=false</Embed-Dependency>
<Embed-Directory>target/dependency</Embed-Directory>
<Embed-StripGroup>true</Embed-StripGroup>

<Export-Package>
    ${project.artifactId}.*;version=${project.version},
    org.apache.jsp.apps.*;version=${project.version}
</Export-Package>                        

<Import-Package>*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package>
<Private-Package></Private-Package>

<Include-Resource>
    {maven-resources},
    {maven-dependencies},
    src/main/scripts
</Include-Resource>

And i simply have a dependency on:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-jci-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>

I’ve tried explicitly adding the commons-jci-core to the Embed-Dependency and Import-Pacakage directives to no avail. Any ideas how I get embed this dependency so my bundle can see it?

Here is the error im receiving:

It turns out i need to embed:

<Embed-Dependency>
    commons-jci-fam;scope=compile|runtime;inline=false,
    commons-jci-core;scope=compile|runtime;inline=false
</Embed-Dependency>

FilesystemAlterationListener is in the fam project and the core project is needed for other dependencies.
