Description Flavio Donze CLA 2009-08-14 05:35:59 EDT 
I'm using mylyn in my client application. 
To keep control over the different logging frameworks, I'm using Logback (http://logback.qos.ch/).
The package "org.apache.commons.logging" is provided by a plug-in called "com.springsource.slf4j.org.apache.commons.logging" and not the usual "org.apache.commons.logging".

The two mylyn plug-ins "org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.ui" and "org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.net" have a dependency on the "org.apache.commons.logging" plug-in.
To be more flexible, mylyn should import the package/packages instead of having a dependency on the "org.apache.commons.logging" plug-in.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-08-14 13:23:00 EDT 
Makes sense, org.apache.commons.httpclient uses Import Package as well.
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2009-09-16 21:45:29 EDT 
Turns out that org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.net re-exports it's dependencies. Unfortunately that prevents a change from require bundle to import package without breaking API. I'm afraid this request will have to wait until Mylyn 4.0.

Comment 4 Flavio Donze CLA 2010-06-02 08:16:34 EDT 
Just updated my Launch Configuration and noticed that I could remove the "org.apache.commons.logging" plug-in.

So this issue is closed?
Comment 5 Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-06-02 14:17:36 EDT 
The Mylyn manifests have not changed in that regard.

After 10 years it's safe to close as wontfix.
