Had a headless build, that failed to resolve a dependency.

When I located the exact problem, I found an Import-Package, having an optional attribute:

Import-Package: junit.framework;optional=true

However, equinox refused to resolve without having a junit in the platform. I was confused, as I thought it disregarded an optional attribute. I then investigated other plugins, and found that they had

Import-Package: junit.framework;resolution:=optional

And with that it worked fine. Both were AFAIK created with the pde tools, but could be either 3.4 or 3.5.

At a brief glance I cannot find anything authoritative about the approach. Any experts willing to provide some illumination in this area?
