David Jencks commented on KARAF-365:
------------------------------------
Can you take a look at the karaf-assembly packaging? I think it does something
like this in a much more convenient way.
I'm hoping to get an example karaf-assembly (although it will need to use the
mojos separately) into the karaf build soon, but there is currently an example
at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/djencks/txmanager
> 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.
