Marcel (and others), Thanks for the suggestions.
My problem is that I need to ensure that I can quickly (and automatically) produce a test environment that is the same as a live karaf instance. Given that I also need to be able to zap it and start again the simplest solution ought to be the maven-pax-plugin, but I can't get Pax Runner to produce an environment identical to a standalone Karaf instance. File Install and shell commands are not ideal because of the need to zap it and start again with a precisely known configuration (I'd need to write code to start/stop/clean the environment). Apache ACE ought to be the ideal tool for managing live environments, but it's not ready for release yet (I couldn't get the version I checked out to actually deploy anything). So I think that the correct approach is a combination of pax-runner (for test) and ACE (for live), but neither is quite able to do what I need right now. Does anyone have a platform definition file for Pax runner that produces an environment identical to the out of the box Karaf?
