Hi Coletta,
I have made a simple test with a config similar to your. And it works.
Here is my config file
1) features.file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<features>
<feature name="spring-web" version="2.5.6.SEC01">
<bundle>file:base/bundles/spring-web-2.5.6.SEC01.jar</bundle>
</feature>
</features>
2) org.apache.felix.karaf.features.cfg
featuresRepositories=mvn:org.apache.felix.karaf/apache-felix-karaf/1.4.0/xml/features,mvn:org.apache.servicemix.nmr/apache-servicemix-nmr/1.2.0/xml/features,mvn:org.apache.servicemix/apache-servicemix/4.2.0/xml/features,mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.3.0/xml/features,file:base/features/features.xml
Here is what I have on the console
ka...@root> features:listUrl
mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.2.0/xml/features
mvn:org.apache.servicemix.nmr/apache-servicemix-nmr/1.2.0/xml/features
file:base/features/features.xml
mvn:org.apache.felix.karaf/apache-felix-karaf/1.4.0/xml/features
mvn:org.apache.servicemix/apache-servicemix/4.2.0/xml/features
mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.3.0/xml/features
and I can install the feature
ka...@root> features:install spring-web
Remark base/features and base/bundles folders have created in the root
folder of apache-servicemix-4.2
