-resolve.effective qname (',' qname )

Workspace

Each requirement and capability has an effective or is effective=resolve. An effective of resolve is always processed by the resolver.However, in (very) special cases it is necessary to provide more rules.

The -resolve.effective syntax is as follows:

-resolve.effective 	::= effective ( ',' effective )*
effective		::= NAME (';skip:=' skip )
skip			::= skip = '"' namespace ( ',' namespace ) * '"'

The simplest model is to just list the names, for example:

-resolve.effective: resolve,active

In this case, the resolver will only look at requirements that are either resolve or active.

Adding a meta effective could then be:

-resolve.effective: resolve,active, meta

However, in very, very rare (usually error) cases it is necessary to exclude certain namespaces. This can be done by using the skip: directive.

-resolve.effective: resolve,active, meta;skip:='osgi.extender,osgi.wiring.package'
