Problem with including jars using <Embed-Dependency>

[back2grave]

I'm trying to embed third party libs and application jar in a OSGI bundle.I read the felix maven plugin document and tried using Embed-Dependency. But it doesn't seem to have any effect. Here's my pom

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.test</groupId>
            <artifactId>taxonomymessagebundle</artifactId>
            <version>1.0</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>commons-lang</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
            <version>2.4</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.0.1</version>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
                <configuration>
                    <instructions>
                        <Export-Package>com.test.taxonomy.dao.*;version=1.0.0</Export-Package>
                        <Import-Package>*</Import-Package>
                    </instructions>
                    <Embed-Dependency>*;scope=compile|runtime</Embed-Dependency>
                    <Embed-Transitive>true</Embed-Transitive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

I'm using mvn clean install to build the bundle. After the install, I took a look into the manifest file, it doesn't show any Bundle-Classpath or Embed information. Looks like it completely ignored the instruction. Also, the two dependent jars were not embedded as well in the bundle.

Here's the generated manifest:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Export-Package: com.test.taxonomy.dao;uses:="com.autodesk.taxonomy";version="1.0.0"
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Build-Jdk: 1.6.0_21
Built-By: bandops
Tool: Bnd-0.0.357
Bnd-LastModified: 1307492329392
Bundle-Name: Taxonomy Dao Bundle
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Created-By: Apache Maven Bundle Plugin
Import-Package: com.test.taxonomy.dao;version="1.0",com.autodesk.test.message
Bundle-SymbolicName: com.test.taxonomy.daobundle

Any pointers will be appreciated.

-Thanks

I found the issue,the <Embed-Dependency> was outside the scope of <Instructions>.

But,using <Embed-Dependency> doesn't seem to have resolved the issue. While doing a maven install, it complained about not resolving dependencies in import-package. And the list seemed to be pretty comprehensive which included the transitive dependent packages as well. I'm struggling to understand the best practice of using non-OSGI compliant jars in an OSGI environment. Can someone share their experience?

Show your final manifest file and maven message about "not resolving dependencies in import-package"
