Hi Brad,
JB is donating Karaf-boot to Apache Karaf, I know the repo is made so
it's a matter of days/weeks when it will be under Apache Karaf :)
But a schedule has yet to be defined about the first release and what we
want in it ect..
Regards,
Morgan

When is karaf-boot due out? Roughly. 2016? August? September? 2017?
I'm pretty stoked about it because I think it is really going to open
a lot of vistas. I haven't had a lot of time to fiddle with my
Raspberry Pi but when i think about a self-deploying, thin karaf with
all dependencies and all the OSGi capabilities and libraries that's
pretty astounding.
The testing seems like it would be straight forward for things like
black box web testing. In that sample code I posted the other day you
could see a couple of simple fluent clients I use for create SOAP and
REST clients for testing.
It would appear that without using Pax Exam or
CamelBlueprintTestSupport I'll be able to boot a karaf container and
run tests against it if I expose any web services. I'll commonly
create delegate/adapters that can switch based on configuration
between using an internal set of Test stubs and actual implementations
and sometimes even remote implementations. The test stubs I use
always provide models that reflect what the bundle would be receiving
from any endpoint calls it makes so it permits me to exercise the
validators, transformers, business logic and web services without
having any integration in place.
Being able to use plain ol' Junit (Poju?) and send and receive web
service calls that exercise self-container karaf/OSGi bundle sets is
pretty damned exciting.
