Ok that seems to work. I can also see that it has 1 bundle less in comparison to the deploy folder approach but I can't see which one.
But I wonder you don't have the restart issue when using the deploy folder. I've done the following: * unzip the karaf 4.0.7 distribution * copied the feature descriptor into deploy folder (already used your small modification) * start karaf * feature:install osgi-test * shutdown karaf * start karaf And after some seconds it should start to prompt out the startup message again. -- View this message in context: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Installing-drools-module-causing-infinite-karaf-restart-tp4048644p4048661.html Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
