Subject: Duplicate feature repository entry using archive-kar to build 
deployable applications
Date: Wed, Jan 11, 2012 5:21 pm
Hi JB,

I switched to the create-kar goal of maven-features-plugin of karaf 2.2.5, yet 
the issues remain: If the input feature file uses properties I can only use the 
already filtered file in target/classes (I uses ${project.artifactId}, version, 
etc.) else the bundles cannot be resolved. Additionally the resulting kar still 
contains two feature files: the one from build path (target/classes) and the 
one within /repository, still resulting in two feature repositories being added 
in karaf ?


Did I do something wrong ?

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,



my comments inline:




1: I use the features-maven-plugin of karaf 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT to

"archive-kar" my feature from a filtered features.xml file in

src/main/resources/feature. This works fine apart from the fact that the

resulting kar contains two features.xml, one in /features (as copied

from /target/classes/feature) and one in the correct place under

/repository/<groupId>/<artifactId>-features.xml. How can I tell the

plugin to ignore the /target/feature/features.xml in the kar while I

still need it for the build ? Right now karaf shows two added feature

repositories for the same bundles and I have to remove one manually.




The create-kar goal is now available with features-maven-plugin 2.2.5.



http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest-2.2.x/users-guide/kar.html



I blogged about it:

http://blog.nanthrax.net/2011/12/do-you-know-the-apache-karaf-maven-plugins/



The create-kar goal take the featuresFile, so it should include only this one, 
and you shouldn't use a resource for that.






2. Undeploy of kar from the karaf /deploy folder has currently no

effect, neither the feature repo, nor the features/bundles themselves

are undeployed ? Additionally I wonder what would happen if I copy a

newer kar of my features to the /deploy folder ?!




It's an expected behavior. Removing a kar file doesn't remove the features 
installed (and the bundles/config associated).

On Karaf 2.2.x, the kar is uncompress in the local-repo folder, adding a 
.timestamp.

If you copy a new KAR, the KarDeployer will check if the kar is newer than the 
previous .timestamp and so it will try to update the features/bundles. Else, 
nothing will be performed.



Regards

JB






I am grateful for any answer and look forward to hearing from you.



Kind Regards,

Michael
