Hi, I have a question regarding the "feature" functionality. As I understand it, it's a way to express a set of bundles working together providing a "feature". Great, I've no question regarding this. But my concern is that you may typically want to use OSGi dependency mechanisms for that. For instance, you have this set of bundles that works together to provide the NMR feature let's say. Why didn't you build something such as an NMR "meta-bundle", basically empty, but declaring "Require-Bundle" header entries that reference all the bundles you need to provision this feature ? Maybe I'm not clear but let's say this "manifest only" bundle is only a set of pointers to other bundle and this has basically the same purpose as the "feature" stuff you have in smx4. It's even more flexible potentially since you only express the dependency set without expressing a physical location of the required bundle but ok, it's not the point.
Could you please give me some details and if my approach is wrong and why ? Thanks =) BQ. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%22Features%22-in-smx4-tp20611424p20611424.html Sent from the ServiceMix - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
