Product installed with optional bundles not included in any of its features [message #649513]

Hi,

I have a product with one self-contained feature (the usual setup). Some
of the bundles in it declare optional dependencies that are not included
in the feature. When I build and install this product, the optional
bundles are included.

I use Helios SR1. This appears to be a change since SR0. Also, this does
not occur with PDE Export.

Is there a property/flag that I can use to mark optional dependencies as
non-greedy? Do I need to make optional requirements non-greedy in a
p2.inf in each bundle with optional dependencies? Strangely I don't see
this problem with fragments -- I'd expect to see them included too if
this were some sort of global policy.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just a quick follow-up -- I tried both package and bundle dependencies
(both optional), but either way I get a greedy requirement. A p2.inf in
the bundle root that sets greedy=false doesn't seem to be taken into
account.

Anyone experience a similar problem? Is there a buckminster property (in
cspex) that could affect it?

My bad on p2.inf not being taken into account -- I had it in the root of
the bundle. When I put it in META-INF, the optional requirement is
generated with greedy=false (as instructed in p2.inf).
