I see its an interesting concept, however - given that SMX is still not at attic, I need to ask what is benefit of doing such large distribution within Karaf project itself? From technical point of view we need to separate dependencies to avoid cyclic dependencies, so Camel, CXF and others and we (Karaf) can be built. If we do it in separate sub-project, what's the difference to making it at servicemix? Shall we be using same version as Karaf or stick to different scheme? How that would look a like?

Best,
Łukasz

I agree with the direction. I've noted that most SMX deployments I see
have continued on with Apache Karaf.

Cheers,

I think, it's time to do this step. It's a difficult for me to say it
after many years of contribution in this community. I think the idea of
ServiceMix as oss integration platform was great but it is simply in a
long agony actually. I think it has a chance to survive in the Karaf
community.

When there are any features of current SMX distribution which will be
not part of the integration distro (to not to make it too complicated)
but are worth to survive, they can be simply described in a
documentation as set of how-tos.

Best regards

Krzysztof

Hi guys,

The ServiceMix community is discussing about moving most of the SMX
parts into Karaf (the useful parts ;) ).

As part of this move, the "main" ServiceMix distribution is mainly a
Karaf assembly.

Currently, we have two distributions: "standard"
(apache-karaf-x.x.x.tar.gz) and "minimal"
(apache-karaf-minimal-x.x.x.tar.gz).

I propose to add a new distribution (in assemblies):
apache-karaf-integration-x.x.x.tar.gz containing ready to go
Karaf/Camel/CXF/ActiveMQ smooth integration.
Concretely, it means:
- we will have integration features repository XML
- we will have a distribution based on this features repository
- we will have itest on this distribution with the best coverage we can

If there is no objection, I will create the Jira and create a PR (as I
have almost all ready :)).

Thoughts ?

Regards
JB
