Yeah I kinda agree with Hadrian. We might as well just bite the bullet and say that Camel 2.7+ requires Karaf 2.2.x+. In light of Karaf 2.1.x is being deprecated, and the fact that SMX 4.4 is using Karaf 2.2.0 and want to use Camel 2.7. So anything that makes maintenance and testing easier for the Camel project is a +1 for me. We already got 100+ artifacts to test and the OSGi tests is also time consuming to run and keep being green. And as Hadrian pointed out, the Camel 2.7 is a big change for JDK/spring/logger and whatnot. So why not also put Karaf in that basket as well. > > On Mar 13, 2011, at 3:41 AM, Jean-Baptiste Onofré wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> It could make sense for the Camel 2.7.
