I discovered that features can pull in snapshots from the apache snapshot repo rather than the ones you carefully installed into system if someone does a deploy of a snapshot between when you assembled the server and started it.
I found this behavior very disconcerting and I'm not sure it's what we want. One way to change this and also fix the "we're copying all the bundles into the framework" problem might be to examine each feature bundle and if its in system use a reference: url instead of the supplied mvn url. The situation in more detail: build a snapshot bundle X locally with local modifications. assemble a server X in the system repo and a feature using X in boot features. Someone else deploys a different X snapshot to say apache snapshot repo Start the server you assembled..... the feature starts and pax-url-aether fetches the X from apache snapshot repo instead of the one in system. thoughts? thanks david jencks
