Chris, In my research, I've learned that SCR is a way of deploying bundles without needing a bundle activator. If this is why you're using SCR, I wonder how much trouble it would be to simply transition your bundles to use Blueprint (yeah!) or SpringDM (meh).
In any case, in the 2.2.x branch of Karaf, I've been able to access all of the requisite SCR commands. As Guillaume points out, those commands don't have support for tab-completion or listing using tab-tab. There are other core felix commands such as "tac"; which, although implemented in Felix, needed to be re-implemented in Karaf to be used. I wonder if this needs to be done with SCR commands as well. What I hope the Karaf community can do is let me know if I need to re-implement the SCR commands in Karaf to make them available for tab-completion and inclusion in the tab-tab list. blunck2 wrote: > > Hi Mike, > > Yup.
