[m2e-dev] org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime exports "com.google.inject"

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

While debugging some problems why some of my bundles wired
inappropriately I came across the fact that m2e.maven.runtime exports
guice-packages.

osgi> b 417
org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime_1.11.0.20190220-2117 [417]

  No services in use.
  Exported packages
    org.apache.maven; version="0.0.0"[exported]
    org.apache.maven.artifact; version="0.0.0"[exported]
    ...
    com.google.inject; version="1.4.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.binder; version="1.4.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.internal; version="0.0.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.internal.util; version="0.0.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.matcher; version="1.4.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.name; version="1.4.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.spi; version="1.4.0"[exported]
    com.google.inject.util; version="1.4.0"[exported]

Beside this repackaged guice dependency there's the standalone
google-inject bundle who export 1.3.0 (most likely via xtext) in my
2019-03 install.

  Imported packages
    javax.inject; version="1.0.0" <javax.inject_1.0.0.v20091030 [9]>
  No fragment bundles
  No required bundles

I was wondering if:
a) the export of this repackaged dependency is really needed
b) or the repackaging could be removed and and replaced with a
dependency on google.inject from Orbit
