David Jencks commented on KARAF-222:
------------------------------------
I'm assuming that everyone will be assembling their distributions using maven
from kar files and features. You can set up one kar file to have all the
configuration info needed for a distro. After doing this, including the kar
file in your dependencies should give you the same "karaf" as unpacking the
actual distribution, except without extracting all the bundles to the file
system. As I noted there are some problems in the diff, but it does show that
it's possible to run "karaf" out of the maven repo in the same vm as maven and
deploy maven dependencies as bundles ( I didn't check that feature and kar
dependencies work yet).
I tried it by:
- adding to my ~/.m2/settings.xml:
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>org.apache.karaf.tooling</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
- in a project that happens to build a bundle, do mvn karaf:run
There's way too much logging on the console, but karaf starts and you can use
the console.
At the moment the project you run karaf in itself isn't deployed to karaf and I
haven't thought about change listeners.
> mvn karaf:run plugin, like jetty:run

> The really nice thing about jetty:run is it watches the source code &
> target/classes dir & auto redeploys on change, so there's no deploy step -
> you just hack & compile (which your IDE or incremental compile can do - e.g.
> "mvn scala:cc").
> For added bonus would be being able to add some extra bundles, so it can be a
> RAD way to hack bundles. Maybe folks could have some integration junit tests
> automatically rerun whenever the bundle is redeployed?
