Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-971:
--------------------------------------------
I added an itest to show the version range is support in feature XML
<repository/> tag:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=karaf.git;a=commitdiff;h=2bc415ca961d04535d8967e2eab15b2ce841966d
It works for Karaf 2.3.x and Karaf 2.x, not yet on Karaf 3.x/4.x (as it's not
yet supported by pax-url-aether, see https://ops4j1.jira.com/browse/PAXURL-280).
> Add support for version ranges in features descriptor <repository/> element

> Key: KARAF-971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-971
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2.4
> Reporter: Gert Vanthienen
> Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Fix For: 2.4.0, 2.3.6, 3.0.3
>
>
> Some features include a <repository/> element to refer to another feature
> descriptor. For example:
> http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/camel/karaf/apache-camel/2.8.2/apache-camel-2.8.2-features.xml
> contains a reference to the CXF features descriptor.
> For referring to the cxf feature, it already uses a version range [2.4, 2.6)
> and if you put the same version range on the repository element URL, it would
> just get resolved by Pax Url Maven support.
> It would be good if the features service would first check for a matching
> features descriptor - if there's already a matching descriptor installed, it
> could just use the existing and skip/ignore the repository resolution.
