Just to keep everyone up to date :) We have several tests failing when run from the source distribution (not a clone of github, but a build from the source distribution tar.gz). The reason is because our source distribution exclude all "binary/compiled" files ( https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/main/assemblies/apache-karaf/src/main/descriptors/src.xml ).
The problem is that these files (binary) are used in tests. I refactored some tests to prepare the files in test setup, or to resolve the files at build time. I'm fixing the Karaf Wrapper build to include native libraries at build time (instead of "static" in source directories).
