Hi Niranjan,

The build fails before successful generation of the p2-repo by giving the
following error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.wso2.carbon.maven:carbon-f
> eature-plugin:3.1.1:generate-repo (p2-repo-generation) on project
> wso2carbon-kernel: Feature org.wso2.carbon.pax.exam.feature_5.2.0.1 not
> found -> [Help 1]



Since in the new C5 model the p2-repo containing all the features required
for all the runtimes of the product, is generated at a single specified
directory(by default the target directory) multiple version of the same
feature cannot be generated as maven build will pick only one version of
the dependency due to the use of "nearest in the dependency tree" strategy
as shown in above mail. As a result although we can have multiple versions
at the p2-repo per feature due to the above nature of maven, runtimes with
different feature versions cannot be created in C5. This problem was not
there in the previous C4 model as the profiles(runtime in C5 wording) were
generated at separate locations and their respective p2-repos were created
at their own locations(where the profile is created) [1]

IMO this issue can be avoided by always using the newest feature version
available when creating runtimes in C5 products. WDYT?
