TBH I'm with Daniel on this topic. It shouldn't be required to use specific projects or tweeks to use specific features. It should be possible to modify Karaf enough so that ppl can use features from various projects without caring too much what changes to Karaf's setup are required. KARs are a good step in the right direction, but simply replacing the jre.properties wont do the job. What to do if Camel and CXF provide different jre.properties files?
With that said it might sound reasonable that I also don't like the idea to modify e.g. the features.cfg. This would only move the problems from one file to another. I think we should rather continue discussion/focusing on the activator idea. This could be a much cleaner/more useful solution.
