Re: [orbit-dev] Checking in bundles with modified manifest

Hi Gunnar,

Thanks for the quick response! Would it be ok from a legal point of view to leave in the optional dependency to Jettison? If yes, then of course we can simply check it in as is and everything is fine. I was just worried about having the "Jettison" entry in the Manifest.


Best regards, Robert

I don't think that removing optional dependencies is a good idea. There 
may be some clients out there that may use the library in combination 
with such an optional dependency.

Why do you need to remove it? Is it because of p2? If yes, then there is 
a way to force p2 to not install the optional dependency by putting in 
some instructions into a p2.inf file. The p2 experts should know the 
exact lines to put in.
