Christian Schneider commented on KARAF-1519:
--------------------------------------------
The benefit is for people who only want to use karaf and not learn how to build
a distro. They could simply download karaf, install the needed feature repos.
Download the features and zip up again for internal usage.
Setting up a maven project that does the same using the karaf-maven-plugin is a
lot harder. Especially for people without good maven knowledge. I think there
are some more jira issues around the same general theme. I will search them and
link them as related to this issue. Then we can try to find a design that
covers all the requirements. For example instead of downloading to the system
dir we might alternatively create kar files. JB said there is already an issue
for creating kar files via a command. So maybe this already would be good
enough.
> Support to download features for later offline usage

> The goal is to allow users to download a standard karaf container, add the
> features they need and download everything to make the karaf instance
> standalone.
> It is already possible to install new feature repos and features into karaf.
> This only works with a connection to a remote maven repo though.
> So it would be nice to be able to download the repo file and jars of one or
> more features into the system dir of karaf.
> So we might support to download named features or all features of all
> installed feature repos.
