Re: [mylyn-dev] Mylyn WikiText and optional dependencies
|
If you specify an optional dependency it will be marked as non-greedy by default (in previous Tycho versions optional dependencies used to be greedy by default). To ensure that the publisher marks an optional dependency as greedy add a special directive in the manifest [1]:
resolution:=optional;x-installation:=greedy
Also be aware that optional, non-greedy dependencies that are required during compile time need to be listed in the build.properties as jars.extra.classpath entries.

357294: [api] provide API for converting content to wiki markup
I'd like to consume jsoup from Orbit, but I'd like to keep WikiText dependencies to a minimum and not require jsoup for use of WikiText. However if people would like to use the HTML parsing function of WikiText, then they should have the option of using jsoup. For this reason it makes sense to use an optional dependency -- however I'd like for the dependency to be greedy from a p2 perspective. What do you think, is this the right approach? An alternative would be to create a new bundle for this functionality, but It seems a little heavy-weight to create a whole new bundle for this purpose. If optional dependencies are the way to go, how would I make the dependency greedy for p2?
Thanks,
David
