Circular dependencies for external libraries

[lukesmolo]

When using external libraries, wam compilation phase complains with several warnings about circular dependencies even if the compilation ends and the bundle is created. Nevertheless, the bundle does not contain all the dependencies needed by the external library and so the application crashes. It seems that the problem occurs when importing a (nodejs) library in this way:

import * as mqtt from 'mqtt';

while instead there are no problems if importing the library in this way:

var mqtt = require('mqtt')

For instance for mqtt library:

'events' is imported by events?commonjs-external, but could not be resolved – treating it as an external dependency
