Hi JB,
sounds great. I'll have to keep an eye on 5 then.
Thanks.

Hi,
That’s exactly the purpose of extension in replacement of features:
Karaf will provides kind of "extension store", with "approved"
functionalities.
You can see a extensions proto set here:
https://github.com/jbonofre/karaf5/tree/main/extensions
<https://github.com/jbonofre/karaf5/tree/main/extensions>
It’s exactly what you are describing: you have the extension market
store, and I will also add "extension bom" for developers (for now,
extensions are runtime).
Here’s the code to start Karaf with extension:
KarafConfig config = KarafConfig.builder()
.homeDirectory("karaf")
.dataDirectory("karaf/data")
.cacheDirectory("karaf/data/cache")
.build();
karaf = Karaf.build(config);
karaf.init();
karaf.addExtension("mvn:org.apache.karaf.extensions/log/5.0.0-SNAPSHOT");
Then, you can simple run karaf with java -jar my-karaf.jar
With this approach, it’s very easy to have an UI to create this code.
Regards
JB

Dear all,
imho, one of the biggest issues with (karaf) is that you need to know
where you get the right bundles/features from. If I want to do JAX-RS
with Whiteboard, what repo do I need to add? What version? How do I
even know I need to add a repo and where to find the right address
for that repo?
I'm sure you all have been through trying to figure out what you need
to add to karaf in order to have it support the features you need.
Once you've done it, you better take note of it, because next time
you setup a new karaf instance you might have to figure it out again.
But maybe in the mean time, Aries has changed a couple of things,
versions have changed (for sure) etc.
Isn't it so much easier on our smartphones and even computers? ... We
go to the app store, search for an app and once we've bought it, if
we want to re-install it, it's still there, probably even with a new
version.
Now, I'm not asking for a karaf app store but what about a "wizard"
where you can pick from some of the most common use cases we all love
to see running in our karaf instances.
This could be some kind of a list:
* DS
* Webconsole
* JAX-RS with Whiteboard
* JPA ...
* Blueprint ...
* your favorites here
and you pick what you need and karaf (somehow) knows what repos to
add and what to install from the repos.
Seconds later, you get your new karaf instance up and running.
Is there anyone else thinking that this could be useful or am I the
only one struggling with these issues? That would be my Xmas wish for
Karaf 5.x.
Merry Xmas and a wonderful healthy Happy New Year 2021 to all of you.
Take care and stay healthy.

Hi guys,
Maybe some of you know that I started to work on Karaf 5.
I have something that it’s almost "usable".
Before sending a global discussion thread on the mailing list, I would like to
evaluate the ideas & big changes I did.
I would like to know if some of you would be interested by a panel discussion
call to introduce Karaf 5 (limited audience at first step).
The agenda of this call would be:
1. Pros/Cons about Karaf as it is today
2. Concepts in Karaf 5 (module, extension, …)
3. Building & running
4. Live demo
It could be recorded/webinar style (not necessary live call) for about 20
people at first step (both Karaf developers and users).
The purpose is to evaluate the direction.
Thoughts ?
Who would be interested ?
Thanks,
Regards
JB
