You are
not oblige to embed it in a jar and you can use the following syntax
to
allow the osgi server to access it --> mvn:groupId/ArtifactId/Version
What I like too in Features, is that this a contract where you
centralize
all the jar/ version about the component to be deployed for a
project !
Maintenance is one of the key success factor of a project.
Ok. I'm sold on features!
The thing that I was wondering is if someone out there has created a
feature respository for hibernate, etc. that one could just add rather
than having to create my own specific set. If the answer is "probably
not", that's OK, as creating my own features.xml and distributing it
is probably Not That Bad. :D
Thanks!
