Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-3940:
----------------------------------------
If all features use the dependency flag, upgrading to a different version of
spring should simply be a matter of explicitly choosing a version of the spring
feature to install, in addition to the default one provided by other features.
> Make it possible / easy to configure which spring version Karaf uses

> Key: KARAF-3940
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-3940
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
>
> It would be great if the spring version that karaf uses is configured in one
> of the etc config files. So people can easily upgrade by changing the version
> in that file.
> Today you cannot do that and its a hazzle to upgrade spring. In fact very
> hard as the spring version is hardcoded in the features file
> true mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/spring/2.4.3/xml/features
> The reason is that spring has frequent releases and often they have security
> issues in their new releases. Or some 3rd party libraries with osgi ranges
> requires a higher version, even on patch level, eg 3.2.13
