Make it easier to upgrade to Felix 4.0.2
----------------------------------------
Key: KARAF-1251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1251
Project: Karaf
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: karaf-core
Affects Versions: 2.2.5
Environment: Mac
Reporter: Lucas Galfaso
Priority: Minor
While trying to make Karaf work with Felix 4.0.2, I wish there are a few small
things there that would make the upgrade a lot easier.
- Having the needed OSGi core classes in a different jar than karaf.jar (I had
to remove them from there and added a file karaf-osgi-core-43.jar at the same
path)
- Have a property ${felix-version} at etc/config.properties with the Felix
framework value
Just for completeness, these are the extra things that I needed to make the
upgrade (and I think would be ok for any user to do):
- Comment the property org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra (if it is left
blank, then Felix fails to start)
- Removed the current Felix and Equinox frameworks. Added Felix 4.0.2 following
the same pattern as it was followed for Felix 3.0.9
- Change etc/config.properties to reflect the updated versions/packages for the
property org.osgi.framework.system.packages
- Updated the classpath value at bin/admin
With all these changes, everything else just works.
