@brevilo provided is the way to say it is optional with maven, optional=true means it can be there or not and if i'm not mistaken was just introduced to please some tool but its usage is not unified whereas provided is clearly there to mean "the project is not the one responsible to handle the presence of the dependency" which is exactly what you are trying to achieve. To avoid surprises I would use provided and fix the maven bundle instructions in the plugin/related properties. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
