you mean in the Karaf reference where we
already exclude org.apache.karaf.shell?

well.... you've just discovered a bug in Karaf. By default the test
framework does nothing else than taking your features.xml and copy it to the
deploy folder of Karaf and starts the engines afterwards; the problem here
is that it seams that Karaf has a bug if you deploy the features.xml first
and start Karaf afterwards (give it a try; download a fresh Karaf build;
deploy your feature.xml into the deploy folder and start karaf; nothing
happens). I've to admit that I'vent noticed it by now because we configure
features in our use-cases a little bit different. We do not add the
features.xml directly expecting that everything is started. Instead we add
the features file and the features to start into the
etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg file in the @Configuration section:
...editConfigurationFileExtend(FeaturesCfg.REPOSITORIES,
",mvn:groupId/artifactId/version/xml/features"),
editConfigurationFileExtend(FeaturesCfg.BOOT,
",myfeature1"), , editConfigurationFileExtend(FeaturesCfg.BOOT,
",myfeature2"), ...
This should do the job till the problem is fixed.
Hope this helps and kind regards,
Andreas
