How to fix "Unresolved constraint in bundle ..." problems with new transformerless plugins?

[Arthur]

Hi,

I'm getting several unresolved constraint in bundle exceptions when trying to deploy my new JIRA 7 plugin.

exceptions like this:

Unable to resolve 171.0: missing requirement [171.0]osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=com.ibm.uvm.tools)

I think it has something to do with the <import-package> config in pom.xml:

...                   
                <instructions>
                        <Atlassian-Plugin-Key>${atlassian.plugin.key}</Atlassian-Plugin-Key>
                        <!-- Add package to export here -->
                        <Export-Package></Export-Package>
                        <!-- Add package import here -->
                        <Import-Package>
                         org.springframework.osgi.*;resolution:="optional", 
                         org.eclipse.gemini.blueprint.*;resolution:="optional", 
                         com.atlassian.activeobjects.external.*, 
                         com.atlassian.sal.api.*, 
                         org.apache.commons.beanutils.*, 
                         *
                        </Import-Package>
                        <!-- Ensure plugin is spring powered -->
                        <Spring-Context>*</Spring-Context>
                    </instructions>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

What is the best method to fix these common errors? 

just adding the package that is missing in the error message? like "

com.ibm.uvm.tools" in my case?

thank you for your advice

Hi,

add 

*;resolution:=optional

in the Import-Package section  instead of * and so it should work.

Hi @Saba, have you tried my solutions?

[Saba]

yes, and it kiinda helped! but Im running into other dependency issues. this seems to have been the beginning of a series of other issues. right now in Flex portal com.ibm.uvm.tools is marked as 

!! com.ibm.uvm.tools,version=0.0.0 from -- Cannot be resolved but is not required
