Hi Massimo, I would recommend to wait Cave 4.2.0 where Cave has completely changed with a full refactoring:
https://github.com/apache/karaf-cave/pull/27 I plan to merge the PR later today and cut Cave 4.2.0 soon (probably during the weekend). Cave will be simpler, first Maven focus, and the repository.xml generation will only use local artifacts.
