I am not getting it. What I think should happen is that any feature that my feature depends on should be included in the resulting kar file (bundles and all). That would allow me to drop my kar into a karaf deploy directory on an offline machine and have my feature, and all its dependencies, installed automatically.
I tried to reproduce the success Davi had, but my kar is not including other features. Here is exactly what I did. 1. git clone http://github.com/apache/karaf.git 2. cd karaf/examples/karaf-maven-example/karaf-maven-example-kar 3. mv src/main/feature/feature/features-repo.xml src/main/feature/feature.xml (now file in default location so maven picks it up) 4. Modify feature.xml to reference a bunch of other features as shown below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <features name="examples" xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0";> <feature name="kar-example" version="1.0-SNAPSHOT"> <feature>scr</feature> <feature>cxf-jaxrs</feature> <feature>cxf-http-jetty</feature> <feature>spring-aspects</feature> <bundle>mvn:commons-lang/commons-lang/2.6</bundle> </feature> </features> 5. mvn clean install compile karaf:kar 6. Kar file produced and found in target/karaf-maven-example-kar-4.3.0-SNAPSHOT.kar So I modified the example project and added a bunch of features as dependencies. The resulting kar correctly contains the commons-lang bundle (/repository/commons-lang/*) but none of the bundles for the 4 features I added. Dropping this kar into Karaf on a disconnected machine would fail to install. What am I missing? -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
