Hi all,
I would like to make an update on the status of Karaf 3.0.
1/ Bootstrap time and artifacts resolution
I fixed the latest issue around pax-url-aether and artifacts
resolution on Saturday.
Now, for SNAPSHOT artifacts, the karaf-maven-plugin (create-kar and
install-kar goals) creates or copy the maven-metadata-local.xml.
It means that only new SNAPSHOTs will be downloaded from a remote
repository.
More than easy testing/updating, a good news is that the artifact
resolution is largely quicker than before, and so the Karaf bootstrap
time is largely better (now the Karaf bootstrap on trunk is equivalent
to Karaf 2.2.x).
I found more bugs / strange behaviour in the current version. The
immediate problem I had is fixed. So my snapshot of the shell/config is
used now after I do a full build.
The problem is that I can not really update my jar in a running karaf.
Update <bundleid> does not find my new version. dev:watch also does not
work.
When I delete the artifact´s dir in system and do update karaf loads the
snapshot from the external repo.
So I think the problem is that system is currently used somehat like an
local repo. Karaf writes downloaded artifacts there. On the other hand
is is used like a remote repo when
looking up artifacts.
I think this looks quite broken.
I will add a jira issue.
3/ Module refactoring
Christian provided a patch around config handling.
I will refactore it a bit to adopt the same way as feature, system,
etc modules (core bundle, management bundle, command bundle).
I will take update some others modules in the same way.
It should be done tomorrow evening or Thursday mornning.
Please do not yet refactor this. Let me first commit on trunk. I am
doing the last tests and will commit today. If you tell me what you want
I can also do the refactoring.
The patch I submitted was for 2.2.x. After a discussion with Achim we
agreed that we should not change much for 2.2.x and instead just fix the
bug with delayed updates.
I will fix this on trunk first and then backport to 2.2.x.
4/ Karaf 3.0.0 branch
I plan to cut off the karaf-3.0.x branch over the week end and prepare
a first RC.
When I look in jira I see ~100 open issues for 3.0.0. So I think we are
far from ready to branch and release a RC.
