Hello Romain, Let me just start by saying I probably should have done more research on Quarkus before sending off this email.
In my mind when I think of Karaf, I think of a service that allows developers to simply install a feature into the service and gives them access to a framework that they can then develop against. For instance, installing a version of hibernate, spring, etc...into the Karaf service. When I saw the Quarkus framework, I thought of a potential opportunity for Karaf to provide another framework for developers to use. That being said if this is something that Karaf already exposes through various other libraries then there is nothing to do. Next time though I will definitely do some more research prior to a proposition.
