Sorry my previous e-mail was incomplete (crappy webmail interface). As I said, I'm fully agree with you.
On the other hand, we shouldn't be too ambitious. I would like to release Karaf 3.0.0 before end of August, so depending of our availability and the workload, we should be careful with the things that we have to include.

Doing code cleanup + adding more tests cases + web site revamping + documentation improvement will be a big achievement but we must deliver new interesting features for target projects using it : ServiceMix, Geronimo, ... That means that we must in this release : - Simplify the deployment process of the different archives (EAR, WAR, EBA, JAR, KAR, Spring, Blueprint) and help our end users for doing that through Maven, OBR, ... - Question : Do we have to support all of them ? Maybe we could restrict the deployment of the required type (JAR, Bundle, Spring, Blueprint, WAR ?) and let's project like Geronimo to take care about EAR, EJB modules ? - Provide a more Enterprise Web Console for operating Karaf - configuring DataSource(s), web modules, Security, ... - Add admin profile to restrict usage of the Karaf commands as we only support right now a full admin access - Improve and refactor commands like also the display- e.g. when we display all commands --> should be grouped and separate from each other, shortcut displayed at the end, ... - Provide the strategy to be used to perform unit test/integration with Karaf using pax-exam, pax-exam-2, .... or any other solution allowing to mock OSGI platform - Provide repository of enterprise features (Hibernate, EJB, ...) or at least governance rules to allow third party projects to develop such features and pass them into a acceptance program to certified them according to Karaf releases. + 1 for JB propositions + mine improvements of components + 1 for a Karaf 3.0 release proposing more enterprise features - for RC Regards, Charles Moulliard Apache Committer Blog : http://cmoulliard.blogspot.com Twitter : http://twitter.com/cmoulliard Linkedin : http://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesmoulliard Skype: cmoulliard On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 12:05 AM, David Jencks david_jen...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > On Jul 11, 2011, at 5:26 AM, Andreas Pieber wrote: > > >> * Karaf profiles & Kar files (IMHO this is one of the most important >> features for 3.x and not present in the issues by now; there had been >> considerable work on this by David, but still, we're missing a >> possibility to start e.g. CXF without modifying some files in etc) > > I'm really hoping that 3.0.0 will have the minimal and standard assemblies > created using kars/features rather than the old style maven-assembly-plugin. > I haven't been able to work on this for a while but i thought I left it in a > state as least as functional as the old-style servers.
