Andreas here's how I imagine it would look:
<feature name="webconsole" version="${project.version}">
<feature version="${project.version}">webconsole-base</feature>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.karaf.webconsole/org.apache.karaf.webconsole.admin/${project.version}</bundle>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.karaf.webconsole/org.apache.karaf.webconsole.gogo/${project.version}</bundle>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.felix/org.apache.felix.webconsole.plugins.event/${felix.eventadmin-plugin.version}</bundle>
<module>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.karaf.webconsole/org.apache.karaf.webconsole.features/${project.version}</bundle>
</module>
</feature>
We could declare it like this. I used an element instead of an attribute
because it could involve more bundles.
Its behaviour could be, to install all bundles and then try to install the
modules. If the module dependencies are not meet, then the module would be
left uninstalled till all its dependencies are meet.
