The “mistake” here isn’t really a mistake, it is simply a misunderstanding of what the output of the enRoute application archetype is.
The application created by enRoute is a stand-alone jar that is designed to be run using java -jar. It is not an OSGi bundle, but instead a Java application containing a basic launcher, an OSGi framework and the bundles resolved in your bndrun file. As the application is not a bundle it does not have OSGi metadata. Therefore when you install this Jar file into Karaf it is treated by Felix as an OSGi R3 bundle (extremely old, don’t bother researching) with no imports, exports, or behaviour of any kind. It will sit there inert, unable to do anything. If you want to package your application to run in Karaf then you will need to follow instructions from Karaf to create an application using one of their proprietary packaging mechanisms. This would effectively be an alternative to the enRoute application archetype with a different kind of output. You can still use the bundles you’ve written using the enRoute archetypes, but you’ll have to make sure that Karaf provides the necessary runtime features to support you, such as a DS 1.4 implementation. I hope this helps to clear things up.
