Apache Felix Maven Bundle Plugin avoid inlining of dependencies

Question

How can I achieve that the plugin does not inline the dependencies in the new build jar file?

<build>
  <plugins>
   <plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
     <extensions>true</extensions>
     <configuration>
       <instructions>
         <Bundle-Category>tools</Bundle-Category>
         <Fragment-Host>org.jsmpp.jsmpp</Fragment-Host>
         <Private-Package>!</Private-Package>
         <Export-Package>
           org.jsmpp.*;version="2.2.3"
         </Export-Package>
         <Import-Package>!org.slf4j</Import-Package>
         <Bundle-Version>2.2.3</Bundle-Version>
       </instructions>
     </configuration>
   </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.jsmpp</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsmpp</artifactId>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Does your pom.xml has ..... This will basically include or inline all the dependency into your bundle, can you post your pom.xml — Dhananjay, Feb 04 '16 at 08:54
Which packages does it inline? Can you try to remove the Private-Package and Import-Package tags? — Christian Schneider, Feb 04 '16 at 09:39

The plugin does not inline any dependencies, unless you include an Embed-Dependency instruction. That instruction can be inherited from a parent POM.

I think this would have been right, I won't do any changes to this since it was just a workaround anyway. I provided a final MANIFEST now and it is packaged within the jar. – Benny Feb 15 '16 at 08:51

All packages that match the <Export-Package> instruction are included in the bundle, even if those packages come from a dependency. So you can either specify all packages from your bundle explicitly, or use a wildcard and exclude unwanted packages with the '!' prefix, e.g.

<Export-Package>
    org.jsmpp.*;version="2.2.3",
    !org.jsmpp.donotwant
</Export-Package>

see maven-bundle-plugin documentation

Use _exportcontents instead of Export-Package.

_exportcontents affect only the manifest, whereas Export-Package modify the manifest and the content of your bundle.
