Hello!

I need to use these two packages in my code:
    import org.apache.commons.validator.routines.DomainValidator;

    import org.apache.commons.validator.routines.InetAddressValidator;


So I need to grab apache commons-validator 1.4.0 and make it a bundle.

For that I've created a new maven project, consisting only in one POM file, where the POM contains the following:

	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<groupId>apache-commons-validator-osgi</groupId>
	<artifactId>apache-commons-validator-osgi</artifactId>
	<version>1.4.0</version>

	<packaging>bundle</packaging>

	<name>${project.groupId} - ${project.artifactId}</name>

	<description>
	Demonstrates how to easily deploy the classes contained in a pre-packaged vanilla jar file into an OSGi
	container, when the jar does not contain the necessary OSGi manifest headers.
	</description>

	<build>
		<pluginManagement>
			<plugins>
				<plugin>
					<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
					<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
					<version>2.3.5</version>
					<extensions>true</extensions>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</pluginManagement>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
				<configuration>
					<instructions>
						<Embed-Dependency>*;scope=compile|runtime</Embed-Dependency>
						<Embed-Directory>OSGI-INF/lib</Embed-Directory>
						<Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive>
						<_exportcontents>
							org.apache.commons.validator.*;version=${commons-validator.version}
						</_exportcontents>
					</instructions>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>

	<properties>
		<commons-validator.version>1.4.0</commons-validator.version>
	</properties>

	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>commons-validator</groupId>
			<artifactId>commons-validator</artifactId>
			<version>${commons-validator.version}</version>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>



However, when I compile this project, the resulting bundle manifest will start importing new stuff... Check the Import-Package tag of the generated MANIFEST.MF here:

Bnd-LastModified: 1413479060520

I would expect it to import nothing and be self-contained... I hate this stuff when working with OSGi, including 3rd party dependencies is very hard Sad

How can I make this bundle self-contained?

This isn't really a JDT question, but I'll give some comments anyway:

OSGi isn't any harder than Maven, it's crossing the border that can cause pain. But in both worlds, an artifact / bundle is seen as a module that may depend on other modules. Making a bundle into a self-contained, standalone blob isn't a normal approach in either world.

So ideally, you would find your 3rd party libraries in Eclipse Orbit, where they're already OSGi'ified and all their dependencies are, too. Unfortunately, nobody has yet created a Orbit version of commons-validator.

Perhaps you should first use maven to get the full list of (transitive) dependencies. From there you can make the call whether transforming all those is a viable option.
