Jean-Baptiste: 1) thank you for a great post: http://blog.nanthrax.net/2011/12/do-you-know-the-apache-karaf-maven-plugins/
2) in your example, you use <packaging>pom</packaging> to use pom as descriptor document for other feature(s) assembly; 3) I am trying to follow your post and to create feature for <packaging>bundle</packaging> so it will include in the final feature.xml and in the target/assembly folder both its own bundle jar and also this' bundle dependencies; so in my case project pom is a self-descriptor document : self bundle + dependencies; I get both self bundle entry and dependency entires OK in the final feature.xml I also get all the dependencies jar OK in the target/assembly, but the main self bundle jar is missing form target/assembly :-) can you please let me know which obvious setting do I miss for karaf-maven-plugin / maven-bundle-plugin? probably you cold link to a working example somewhere? 4) the intent of this exercise is to be able to produce a) feature.xml b) maven-standard-layout assembly of main bundle jar plus all dependency bundle jars for deployment to s3 via https://github.com/jcaddel/maven-s3-wagon Thank you, Andrei
