Jim,
You should consider the use of provisioning via features.xml files for the consistent deployment of bundles into an instance of Karaf. Then, you can use Apache ACE to manage a consistent deployments among multiple instances of Karaf.

With a pair of live instances and innumerable test instances I need to have a way to deploy the whole shebang (felix, karaf, camel, CXF, spring, my bundles, various configuration files) in a consistent way. What tools/techniques to people use to do this? Thanks Jim
