Hi Marius, One thing to keep in mind is that FeatureServiceImpl was changed to be single-threaded in Karaf 4.0.6. If you are invoking it programmatically, you need to do feature installs in a separate thread (since the single thread will be tied up installing your PluginManager and it will deadlock). This sounds similar to the problem that you're having.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-3798 We ran into this in OpenNMS and used CompletableFuture as a workaround: https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/commit/5cbfaf5b4f455225184950b238ccdea5e94f744b Seth Leger The OpenNMS Group On 11/6/17 2:51 AM, Marius Dienel wrote: > Hey Guys, > > > we're having a problem with Karaf Version > 4.0.4.
