Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-151:
---------------------------------------
No, you're right you would not be able to use the osgi:install command.
That said, another solution would be to use a dedicated command:
features:archive xxxx
or something like thtat.
The downside I see to using a URL handler and a bundle installation is that you
actually end up with a bundle installed in the framework which isn't really a
bundle and you can't do anything with it but uninstalling (which has no effect).
If you use for example the url handler for the features, which allows you to
install a features descriptor using osgi:install, it actually install a bundle,
but there is a lifecycle tied to this bundle: if you uninstall the bundle, the
feature will be uninstalled.
So why would you use the kar: url handler for exactly? Do you think a specific
command would be more appropriate?
