The only way to influence the start order of bundles is to specify the start level on the feature or on the feature's bundles using the start-level attribute (see https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/karaf-4.0.x/assemblies/features/standard/src/main/feature/feature.xml for some examples).
In Karaf 4.x, the features are resolved and installed in a single pass, so the order is lost. 2016-08-26 4:58 GMT+02:00 oski_bear <dariusham...@hotmail.com>: > Hello, I'm a long-time user of Karaf 2.4.0 trying to migrate my application > to Karaf 4.0.5.
