I don't understand your question. I was trying to say 2 completely separate things: 1. I think but don't know that the subsystem spec expects that subsystem names are like bsns. If this is true it might be a good idea to line up karaf feature names for future compatibility with subsystems. 2

Hi David, The fact that the features you mentioned are provided by the Karaf doesn't mean that we need to prefix them with karaf. For example we can only use the project that implements those features and end up with something like this: aries-jndi aries-tx spring-tx camel-jpa karaf-webconsole w

I know I'm outvoted, but -1. Please be sure that every name you choose has karaf in it somewhere for the features from karaf. For instance the karaf feature setting up aries jndi needs both karaf and aries in the name, e.g. karaf-aries-jndi, karaf-spring-* Since the feature names all have "f

Hi Ioannis, I second you on that. I agreed to use a full qualified feature name, but I don't like the result as well. FYI, to avoid to loose users, I created features name aliases. I think we should revert the name (I will do it if all are agree). If, as David said, some feature name are amb

I think a lot of the readability issues can be addressed by formatting, certainly its easy to put each feature name and repo name on a new line for (a). I think any solution has to allow every project using karaf to have it's own features named framework, standard, enterprise, spring,, obr.

Though I liked the idea of symbolic-name like features a lot, I somehow do not like the result. What I do not like is that a lot of things have become unreadable and the new feature names require way more effort to use. Some examples: *a) org.apache.karaf.features.cfg* featuresBoot=org.apache.kar
