I tried just now, and it looks like you're right. I took this config, which creates a feature file attachment to a bundle maven artifact https://github.com/steinarb/post-body-capture/blob/master/pom.xml#L189 and added the following to the <configuration>: <features> <features>pax-http-whiteboard</features> </features> Then I bumped the karaf version from 4.1.2 to 4.1.3 (to be sure I had the newest Java 8 compatible version). And then I removed the template feature.xml: https://github.com/steinarb/post-body-capture/blob/master/src/main/feature/feature.xml Then I tried a "mvn clean install". The generated target/feature/feature.xml file does not have pax-http-whiteboard as a feature dependency: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <features xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0"; name="post-body-capture"> <feature name="post-body-capture" description="Servlet dumping POSTed data to files" version="1.0.0.SNAPSHOT"> <bundle start-level="80">mvn:no.priv.bang.debug-utils/post-body-capture/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</bundle> </feature> </features> > I was going to see if I can tweak the karaf-maven-plugin to do as I > want. Would this be of interest as a possible PR? I would be interested in using this, er..., feature at least..:-) (bye-bye to the template feature.xml files) (Perhaps a Jira issue should be created before submitting the PR?)
