Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-971:
--------------------------------------------
Pax URL supports the version range without problem (it picks the highest
version available on the repositories).
I'm upgrading the Feature service to resolve the feature repository only when
it's require. I'm going to check if I can leverage an existing method provided
by Pax URL (a kind of URL Matcher), or if I have to implement one by myself.
> Add support for version ranges in features descriptor <repository/> element

> Key: KARAF-971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-971
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2.4
> Reporter: Gert Vanthienen
> Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Fix For: 2.2.5, 3.0.0
>
>
> Some features include a <repository/> element to refer to another feature
> descriptor. For example:
> http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/camel/karaf/apache-camel/2.8.2/apache-camel-2.8.2-features.xml
> contains a reference to the CXF features descriptor.
> For referring to the cxf feature, it already uses a version range [2.4, 2.6)
> and if you put the same version range on the repository element URL, it would
> just get resolved by Pax Url Maven support.
> It would be good if the features service would first check for a matching
> features descriptor - if there's already a matching descriptor installed, it
> could just use the existing and skip/ignore the repository resolution.
