Description

In the Manifest the OSGI Import-Package states, that commons configuration depends on org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs and on javax.mail:

As result of this, when developing RCP application and using commons configuration as OSGI bundle, the built client needs the ant bundle (and a bundle providing javax.mail) in the execution runtime!

The worst thing is, that it looks like that ant is not even used within commons configuration itself - except for a javadoc comment which actually does not need an import (EnvironmentConfiguration).

javax.mail cannot be found at all in the sources.

In addition to that, also the imports to jxpath, SAX and javax.naming should be optional as those are only needed for specific configurations.
