Description

When I try to resolve a bundle (bundleFooImport.jar) with the following manifest:
Import-Package: a.b.c;company=foo

In the bundle repository, I have a bundle (bundleFoo.jar) with the following manifest:
Export-Package:a.b.c;version=3;company=foo;security=true;mandatory:="company,security"

The repository.xml for the bundleFoo.jar

<capability name='package'>
<p n='company' v='foo'/>
<p n='mandatory:' t='set' v='company,security'/>
<p n='package' v='a.b.c'/>
<p n='security' v='true'/>
<p n='version' t='version' v='3.0.0'/>
</capability>

For some reason, the felix resolve resolves the bundleFooImport.jar with bundle bundleFoo.jar, which is wrong. According to the osgi specification, bundleFoo.jar bundle insists the bundle imports specifying company and security attributes, which was not the case of bundleFooImport.jar. Clearly, the felix implementation of the mandatory directive is NOT correct.

Please let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks
