Description

The Import-Package line in the CXF JAX-RS bundle has packages which are required but are actually optional.

Here's a list of packages that should be optional in the 2.3.x stream:

org.apache.neethi;resolution:=optional,
org.apache.ws.commons.schema*;resolution:=optional,
org.apache.xml.resolver*;resolution:=optional,
org.objectweb.asm;resolution:=optional,
javax.mail*;version="[0.0,2)";resolution:=optional,

Here's a list of packages that should be optional in the trunk (2.4.x) stream:

org.apache.ws.commons.schema*;resolution:=optional,
org.apache.xml.resolver*;resolution:=optional,
org.objectweb.asm;resolution:=optional,
org.osgi.service.blueprint*;resolution:=optional,
javax.mail*;version="[0.0,2)";resolution:=optional,
javax.wsdl*;resolution:=optional,

Proposed patches to both streams attached.
