Hi guys,
FYI, I added the features autostart in the KarDeployer.
On trunk, I will start to create OSGi services for several modules: KAR,
config, wrapper, etc. The purpose is to be able to easily plug shell
commands and MBeans without code duplication.
Back to the features behavior, currently we have:
- bootFeatures that are installed by default at startup
- "KAR features" that are installed at KAR deployment
It means, that if an user performs:
features:addurl ...
no features will be installed by default, the user has to install
features by hand.
So, maybe, the only requirement is to install features when a features
repository is added.
Regards
JB

Well, I don't think that your use case is as uncommon as you think :-) I do
it exactly the same way in most of my projects. Therefore the autostart for
the deploy folder only would make perfekt sense for me.
Kind regards,
Andreas

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?
