Hi guys,
as reminder, xercesImpl jar is in lib/endorsed only for IBM JDK (issue
at startup with Blueprint). As it may introduces some issue with Oracle
JDK, I would like to double check if xercesImpl is still required (I
don't think so).
We talked about "Karaf profiles" in the past to solve "custom
distribution" issue at both build and runtime.
The karaf maven plugin already provide ways to create custom distro.

I agree that the minimal distro should be smaller.
Though I think before removing anything, we need to have an easy way for
users to add them back. I'm mostly thinking about equinox and xerces :
* i don't think we have a simple way to switch an assembly to using
equinox using the maven plugin
* cxf needs it afaik, and we add it
to org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra in etc/config.properties
If we improve the maven plugin to support those things, we can remove those
from minimal I think.
For wrapper and additional features, the plugin already gives a simple way
to add them back, so we can already remove them I think.

Hi Christian,
I have:
- net distro very small (less than 1MB)
- minimal distro I guess similar to that you have (but including equinox).
It's something that I planned for Karaf 4.0.0.

Hi all,
just wanted to share my experiences in trying to make karaf 4 minimal
even smaller.
Currently karaf 4 minimal tar.gz is about 10MB.
With some small tweaks I was able to get it down to about 6MB.
I removed equinox (1.3 MB), XercesImpl (1.3MB in lib/endorsed) and some
features like the wrapper.
I would not really suggest to do all this for karaf minimal but perhaps
this helps some people who aim to build a really small custom distro.
What we might look into is to remove equinox and xerces from the
framework kar and add them later in the two distros. This would allow
people to build their own distros without tweaking the framework kar.
