Merge .kar files in features-maven-plugin during "add-features-to-repo" goal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: KARAF-365
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-365
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: tooling
Reporter: Andreas Pieber
Priority: Minor
What I can think of there is to extend the add-feature-to-repo goal to
something like:
{code}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.karaf.tooling</groupId>
<artifactId>features-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${karaf.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-features-to-repo</id>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>add-features-to-repo</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
DESCRIPTORS
</descriptors>
<features>
FEATURES
</features>
<kars>
KARS
</kars>
<repository>target/features-repo</repository>
<failOnArtifactResolutionError>true</failOnArtifactResolutionError>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
{code}
.kar files could be installed via maven but basically nothing more than merging
them into the "repository" happens. This should do it for now, should be simple
to implement but allow an additional abstraction layer since entire packages
could be used without looking at the features file at this place at all.
I'm not sure by now how useful this will be since you can do the same via the
feature file (which is anyhow required to build a kar file). But at least it
would assist to make .kar to the default packaging for karaf features.
