Hi,
The documentation says: Requirements A feature can also specify expected requirements. The feature resolver will try to satisfy the requirements. For that, it checks the features and bundles capabilities and will automatically install the bundles to satisfy the requirements. Does that mean that while the resolver is able to start bundles with capabilities matching the features requirement, it's not able to do the same for features? So it would not be able to install / start a feature providing the requested capability? Why does it check the feature capabilities then? I tried to setup features using loose dependency coupling: The bundles in a feature depend on some APIs, which are listed as dependent bundles / dependent features. When it comes to the implementation however, I do not care which will be used as long there is one. It's up to the "Karaf distribution builder" to decide which implementations of a specific interface will be used. Therefore my consuming feature specifies a requirement like "<requirement>serviceregistry;filter:="(backend=*)"</requirement>" while a providing feature would have following capability: "<capability>serviceregistry;backend="eureka"</capability>". Unfortunately, while it complains if the provided capability is not available, it won't install / start the providing feature if it's still in status "Uninstalled". Is that a bug, something missing, any other way to implement this use case..? While the resolver is able to start a specific bundle providing the capability, it makes sense to me to also be able to install / start a whole feature. Thanks!
