Hi,

I've been giving the feature model a drive for the experimental CLI
sync tool [1] and I like it so far!

A couple of usability/roadmap questions:

1. What concrete plans are there to support launching besides the
feature-launcher jar?

I see SFL020 - Tooling must support runtime launching of an application
at [2] but it's not clear if the current state (jar file) is enough.
IMO a Maven-based launcher would help as well.

2. Are there plans to create 'fat' jars that contains the needed
artifacts and expand when running?

I see SFP020 - Tooling must be able to convert a feature to an Apache
Sling Provisioning Model Archive at [2], but I guess that a
provisioning model archive is our starter.jar, which means we embed the
launchad.base and possibly some other sling-specific artifacts.

I would be very happy with a dumber jar that just extracts the bundles
and launches the framework.

Thanks,

Robert
