Hi Andreas,
thanks, so the feature starter is - simplified - an improved feature
launcher already containing all the required pieces including a basic
feature model. Is that correct?

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.

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? So this is kind of a template for an own
application project.
Lets assume we go this route, how would we change the current sling-starter
project, which is the demo application we have?

Can you explain a little bit more how this works for users wanting to build an
application?
Today, you can create your own maven project, add/import provisioning models
and build a startable jar (and a webapp which we don't need to support for
feature models right now). You can then use this jar without any tooling.
Thanks

As far as I see the 'sling-org-apache-sling-feature-starter’ this is not just a
test but rather the official way to start Sling XX. It does have the option to
add additional Feature Models (customer FMs) to the startup and we can also add
startup scripts so that it can be launched as a Unix style service.
I am fine with both approaches but we should make a decision one way or the
other.

Sorry for getting late to this, but is the slingstart-feature-maven-plugin also
creating the startable jar?
While I suggested to create separate modules (which I continue to think is good), I'm a
little bit worried about "org-apache-sling-feature-starter" - The current
starter project is a demo setup for Sling, making it easy to try out and test Sling.
Maybe it would be better to have the feature equivalent on the master branch of
"sling-org-apache-sling-starter" and we move current master branch to a
"provisioning-model" branch.

Hi
This is a vote to promote the sling-org-apache-sling-feature-starter and
sling-slingstart-feature-maven-plugin to their own Sling Module. This first
module is the Feature Model counterpart of the sling-org-apache-sling-starter
and will create an executable JAR file. The second is the counterpart of the
sling-slingstart-maven-plugin which will start and stop a Sling Instance from a
Maven run and is mostly used to run Integration Tests.
Sling Feature Starter:
1. Code Location: both are in the ‘sling-whiteboard’ under
'sling-org-apache-sling-feature-starter` folder
2. Proposed Github Repo name (I just added feature into the name):
- sling-org-apache-sling-feature-starter
3. Proposed artifact ids (group id: org.apache.sling)
- org.apache.sling.feature.starter
Sling Start Feature Maven Plugin:
1. Code Location: both are in the ‘sling-whiteboard’ under
'sling-slingstart-feature-maven-plugin` folder
2. Proposed Github Repo names (I just added feature into the name):
- sling-slingstart-feature-maven-plugin
3. Proposed artifact ids (group id: org.apache.sling)
- slingstart-feature-maven-plugin
As requested by Carsten I created separate modules for the Feature
counterparts. The modules work but the are not finished. The Sling Feature
Starter is actually using the Sling Start Feature Maven Plugin to run the IT
tests.
