Description

In the Maven "pom.xml" there are several "optional" dependencies

In the "Import-Package" section of the MANIFEST.MF it should also be "optional"

It is something that was fixed in 2.1 by VFS-498, but for some reasons there is a regression in 2.2 for these dependencies, that came back as mandatory:
org.apache.hadoop.xxx
org.apache.jackrabbit.xxx
org.apache.tools.ant
