This is pretty much exactly where JB and I have been going with the recent changes in the features. Basically, the projects all STOP redefining features like spring and cxf and such. Instead, they grab those from the appropriate place (and using a version range to accommodate updates). For example: Karaf 2.2.4 defines all the Spring things. Thus, neither Camel or CXF define that anymore. They just grab spring from there (using "[3,4)" or similar). Camel 2.8.2 will use the CXF 2.4.3 features directly. (no redefines) If you don't use an obr, we still have issues with different bundle versions of various things. I did sync CXF and Camel as much as possible a little while ago, but they will likely drift a bit. Anyway, Karaf 2.2.4, CXF 2.4.3, and Camel 2.8.2 will go a long way to make it a lot easier and more consistent.
