"Did not find matching referal" warnings during add-on manifest generation

[David Pinn]

During the build of my add-on, warning messages appear that are of this form

[WARNING] Warning in manifest for <pluginname> : Did not find matching referal for com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.event.user.*

This occurs despite the inclusion of relevant Import-Package statements:

com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.event.user.*;version="[2.5,2.6)",

Why do the warnings appear? Do I need to worry about them? How can I rid my build of them?

I managed to fix those warnings in a plugin by removing the offending packages from the <Import-Package> directive (mine was in the POM, some might have this in atlassian-plugin.xml). I think the warning was trying to tell me those packages weren't actually on the classpath anyway, which they weren't.

[David Pinn]

No, they still appear. So far, I've not detected any ill effects from them. It's bothersome to have unaddressed warning messages, though, isn't it?

I have the same question, David. Did you find an answer?
