David Jencks commented on KARAF-969:
------------------------------------
In trunk it is very easy to package the same feature into multiple feature
repositories. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. I think the
obvious solution is to have "fully qualified" feature names that look like what
everyone is using for bundle symbolic names, e.g.
org.apache.karaf.feature.MyFeatureName. I know these got removed from trunk,
but IMO this jira is an example of why they should be put back.
> Feature installer should not accept different features with equal names

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-969
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: karaf-features
> Affects Versions: 2.2.2
> Reporter: Geert Schuring
> Labels: duplicate, features, name, namespaces
> Fix For: 2.2.5
>
>
> The feature installer should reject feature files that contain features with
> conflicting names. The installer currently allows this, while the install
> command cannot differentiate between two features with the same name.
> Maybe the concept of feature namespaces would be a good solution. The feature
> repository name could function as the namespace. The install command should
> then support something like this:
> {code}
> features:install <repo>:<feature>
> {code}
