Thanks JB, no I don't use Karaf right now. But I'd love to make it work with Karaf once I have the time. What I envision is something where I can have `<_.eccentric.modularity.executable.karaf />` in my POM and it will assemble a runtime with Karaf and all the bundles/features resolved from my POM.
