Hi Carsten That is not what I had in mind. The Feature Starter is only containing the Feature Launcher and its necessary components to get it working (extensions) and the Sling FM file. The rest is downloaded and started through the Feature Launcher as if you started it with the Feature Launcher.
The JAR file has two options: 1) Provide an override of the Sling FM to run your very own Sling or Sling / Customized FMs 2) Provide additional FMs to add your customized FMs to the released Sling FM / instance The rest of the options are the same as for the Sling Starter even though the Launcher Home is not supported yet. This means that a user can either start Sling or can start its own project(s) + Sling with the Sling Feature Starter. - Andy > On Jan 21, 2020, at 8:54 AM, Carsten Ziegeler <[email protected]> wrote: > > So it seems you are suggestion, that if someone wants to build a Sling > application, you clone/fork the feature-starter project, add your own feature > models and build the project, right?
