I came across the following use case: I want to create a custom feature descriptor, which I will be dropping inside the karaf deploy folder. Currently, all features will be installed. In my case I don't want all the features installed. I just want one of them installed. In this case an attribute like autostart, that would be *only* used when dropping features.xml in the deploy folder could make some sense.
In my use case I need a to have a lot of features available but uninstalled and have a single feature "decide" which other features need to be installed. I know that this is not the most common use case, but having this attribute (working only for the deploy folder case) won't hurt anyone. wdyt? -- *Ioannis Canellos* * FuseSource <http://fusesource.com> ** Blog: http://iocanel.blogspot.com ** Apache Karaf <http://karaf.apache.org/> Committer & PMC Apache ServiceMix <http://servicemix.apache.org/> Committer Apache Gora <http://incubator.apache.org/gora/> Committer *
