OSGI : unable to resolve dependency for org.antlr.v4.gui #3691
Description
I tried the latest 4.10.1 Java version under OSGI environment. I used version 4.9.3 without any problem. But with version 4.10.1 I could see this exception :
Error executing command: Unable to resolve root: missing requirement [root] osgi.identity; osgi.identity=chronos-base; type=karaf.feature; version="[0.0.1.SNAPSHOT,0.0.1.SNAPSHOT]"; filter:="(&(osgi.identity=chronos-base)(type=karaf.feature)(version>=0.0.1.SNAPSHOT)(version<=0.0.1.SNAPSHOT))" [caused by: Unable to resolve chronos-base/0.0.1.SNAPSHOT: missing requirement [chronos-base/0.0.1.SNAPSHOT] osgi.identity; osgi.identity=tech.pantheon.chronos.company.api; type=osgi.bundle; version="[0.0.1.SNAPSHOT,0.0.1.SNAPSHOT]"; resolution:=mandatory [caused by: Unable to resolve tech.pantheon.chronos.company.api/0.0.1.SNAPSHOT: missing requirement [tech.pantheon.chronos.company.api/0.0.1.SNAPSHOT] osgi.wiring.package; filter:="(&(osgi.wiring.package=tech.pantheon.chronos.utils.dao)(version>=0.0.0)(!(version>=1.0.0)))" [caused by: Unable to resolve tech.pantheon.chronos.utilities/0.0.1.SNAPSHOT: missing requirement [tech.pantheon.chronos.utilities/0.0.1.SNAPSHOT] osgi.wiring.package; filter:="(&(osgi.wiring.package=org.antlr.v4.runtime)(version>=4.10.0)(!(version>=5.0.0)))" [caused by: Unable to resolve org.antlr.antlr4-runtime/4.10.1: missing requirement [org.antlr.antlr4-runtime/4.10.1] osgi.wiring.package; filter:="(osgi.wiring.package=org.antlr.v4.gui)"]]]]
There is a problem that antlr4-runtime has a MANIFEST.MF with this OSGI import entry:
Import-Package: org.antlr.v4.gui,org.antlr.v4.runtime,org.antlr.v4.runti me.atn,org.antlr.v4.runtime.dfa,org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc,org.antlr.v4. runtime.tree,org.antlr.v4.runtime.tree.pattern,org.antlr.v4.runtime.tre e.xpath
I think that there is an unwanted hard dependency on a package org.antlr.v4.gui and that this dependency should be optional. Something like this:
org.antlr.v4.gui;resolution:=optional
I manually updated MANIFEST.MF and with the change above I was able to use 4.10.1 without any problem
My environment: Java 17, Karaf 4.3.6 (OSGI container)
