It looks like it was not one of my best ideas... ;-) My goal was to have one command to install all Camel features and see whether or not we can successfully deploy all of them into Karaf. I agree the better solution is to have an OSGI integration test for all our components. At least we should have a (empty) test which use our features file to deploy the component into Karaf (with the jre.properties.cxf) configuration. I will have a look into our OSGI integraton tests an see whether we can improve something here to avoid the issues we had with our last release candidate. If so, I will raise a JIRA for it...
Best, Christian
