Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-4707:
----------------------------------------
I think for url handlers, it's better to use the uber jars. The urls handlers
integrate tightly into the framework / VM in an usual way and used without much
way to actually "wait" for them, unlike plain OSGi services.
I'd rather avoid having url handlers depend on too many things, as it may
become the target of a refresh for an unneeded reason and increase the risk of
entering an unwanted state. In particular, url handlers are used by the
feature service, usually as prerequisite features to install bundles using
those urls.
So I'm all for having features for those handlers, but not really one
installing all the small bundles.
Also, we already have builtin support for the main 3 ones: mvn, wrap and war
(through pax-web). All of them are using the uber bundles.
