Hi Charles!

The Karaf file *does* include bundles - it's really a collection of features descriptors and bundles that can be deployed together easily.

I think the idea will be to pursue a standards based approach (perhaps based on Aries EBA and Karaf features) in the future!

Best,
Ade.

Hi Ade,

 From what I read in the next post of my email, kar only includes
features xml file(s) and no bundles. To deploy an archive containing
bundles we should use eba archive of project Aries.

Regards,

Charles

The purpose of the Kar file is to facilitate easy packaging and
deployment of Karaf features. A feature can have its own bundles *and*
all its dependencies placed in a Kar; then, when the Kar archive file
is dropped into a deploy directory, the bundles are extracted to the
local drive in a psuedo-Maven directory structure, and any features
files therein are automatically registered in the runtime. This makes
deployment of Karaf solutions easier, particularly when on production
machines where Maven resolution is not possible.
