Hi, it was not so much karaf (I kind of liked it from the start) it was rather OSGi. We come from spring and when I looked through all the osgi material lots of it seemed strange and confusing like Aries, Blueprint, DS, enRoute, ... . Serge helped me a lot with sorting the things in my head and getting all clear (also with bundle vs. feature vs. feature-repo) and DS stuff and lots more. So I think Karaf is already doing an excellent job its rather the OSGi world that is damn confusing and one thing that probably could help is a small OSGi introduction or something.
I hope that helps! Julian Am 16.09.19, 11:47 schrieb "Jean-Baptiste Onofré" <j...@nanthrax.net>: By the way, Julian, I'm curious. Why did you consider Karaf "hard for you to adopt" ? It's to understand what we can improve (maybe message/website, example, whatever) in the project to change that ! Thanks !
