I'm assembling a Sling Launchpad application, and I'm experiencing that the Launchpad bundle list is becoming long and difficult to manage.
For example, adding Hibernate support requires adding a considerable number of bundles, to different start levels. Adding other stuff requires adding more bundles, to the same or different start levels. In Apache Karaf, this problem has been solved with features [1]. It would be useful if the Launchpad bundle list could support Karaf feature descriptors, preferably also supporting Karaf's URL handlers (particularly wrap:). Would there be interest in extending the Launchpad bundle list format to support something like Karaf features? If so, I'll create I Jira and try to find time to work in it. Or does the Launchpad already support something similar? Just to clarify: This is not about running Sling in a Karaf runtime, but rather, using Karaf features with the Sling Launchpad.
