Description

The docs for BeanUtils clearly state that commons-collections is an optional dependency, but when using Beanutils in OSGi this dependency is actually required. This is due to the fact that the manifest requires the commons-collection packages rather than optionally requires them.

Please change the import-package header to optionally import the commons collection classes.
