Hi Christian, You can do this right now in trunk with a karaf-assembly project.
I don't see how it really helps in a closed environment, nor do I understand how the proposed karaf-max will help. In my experience when you have a closed environment there's an approval process to get stuff into it. Despite Mike's first answer to me, I still don't understand how packaging 150 bundles into an assembly when you only need 100 will make that approval process easier. I'd also expect a closed environment to need to make most of the imported artifacts available to the build system which AFAICT neither Mike nor your proposal address. And, I still don't have any problem with adding such a mega-assembly. I don't think it will help anyone in a closed environment but it does seem like it might make all the possibilities easier to discover and play with. thanks david jencks On May 3, 2011, at 1:45 PM, Christian Schneider wrote: > Hi Mike, > > while this is sure possible it would be quite big.
