From my point of view -- - 3.0-beta is only sort of based on karaf, and it's a really old karaf. Instead of building on top of karaf we copied and rewrote a bunch of stuff. This was expedient but for the long term a bad idea. You may not find it easy to install non-geronimo stuff and get it to work well with geronimo stuff.
- karaf 3.0 hasn't really worked yet. There are still problems with the pax-url-aether handler. This made working on geronimo trunk extremely frustrating -- typically no matter what you do, the url handler downloads antique remote versions rather than the local ones you just built. I've been waiting for karaf to stabilize and my paid working time has been moved to other projects, at least for now. I'm still not convinced karaf 3 has a reasonable plan for mvn urls, this topic just came up again there, I'll have to see if I can explain my concerns comprehensibly over there. thanks david jencks On Mar 6, 2012, at 12:14 PM, uromahn wrote: > Russel, > > thank you for taking the time and explain this to me in such a detail. > > To get you understand, here is why I wanted to give 3.0-trunk a try. > > As I mentioned, we are working on an OSGI-based POC that is currently using > Apache Karaf 2.2.5.
