Problem description

This change here: https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc/pull/2198/commits

added an explicit dependency to com.ibm.lang.management in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.

As a result, the driver will not deploy anymore in an OSGi environment without that dependency:

The class is loaded via reflection, but the maven-bundle-plugin is too 'intelligent', recognizes it and constructs a mandatory import for it.
You need to explicitly declare the dependency as optional in pom.xml. See pull request #2208.
See #1892 for a very similar issue.

Expected behavior

Dependency declared optional and deploying without successfully.
