BundleException when adding third party dependency

Question

When I add the following dependency to my pom.xml: org.apache.odftoolkit odfdom-java 0.8.11-incubating compile I get the following error during atlas-run or atlas-package: [INFO] [talledLocalContainer] 2017-08-04 16:33:59,885 ERROR [QuickReload - Plugin Installer] [plugin.osgi.factory.OsgiPlugin] enableInternal Detected an error (BundleException) enabling the plugin 'com.plugin.export.odt' : Unresolved constraint in bundle com.plugin.export.odt [258]: Unable to resolve 258.0: missing requirement [258.0] osgi.wiring.package; (osgi.wiring.package=com.hp.hpl.jena.query). This error usually occurs when your plugin imports a package from another bundle with a specific version constraint and either the bundle providing that package doesn't meet those version constraints, or there is no bundle available that provides the specified package. For more details on how to fix this, see https://developer.atlassian.com/x/mQAN I know that my problem is related to this article, and there is another similar question on the form, however I can't seem to find the answer. No OSGi bundle seems to be exporting the package for my plugin to consume it, according to the article referenced above I may need to provide it by packaging it within my plugin and removing the package import! but I can't begin to understand what this might mean? What am I doing wrong? What are the steps to track the problem? Is this a dependency conflict or simply my dependency

Hi,

I would possibly look at the scope:

https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html

Perhaps also investigate to see if there are any conflicts:

atlas-mvn dependency:tree

This will print a list with all the dependencies for your project.

If you do find a conflict, you can exclude the offending version from your pom with the <exclusions> tag.
