Found an example in the falcon compiler of using soft dependencies. In
org.apache.flex.compiler.config.Configuration,
the below code says -locale must be set before -library-path.
@Config(allowMultiple = true, isPath = true)
@Mapping({"compiler", "library-path"})
@Arguments(Arguments.PATH_ELEMENT)
@InfiniteArguments
@SoftPrerequisites("locale")
public void setCompilerLibraryPath(ConfigurationValue cv, String[]
pathlist) throws CannotOpen
{
final ImmutableList<String> resolvedPaths = expandTokens(
Arrays.asList(pathlist),
locales,
cv, !reportMissingCompilerLibraries);
libraryPath.addAll(resolvedPaths);
}
