I've sorted this out now I believe. In order to add my platform as bootFeature (and thus force it to start before the application bundles) it cannot be a KAR in the deploy folder. Instead I did: - Installed my platform features.xml into maven repo using build-helper-maven-plugin. - Used Karaf maven plug-in add-features-to-repo in my Karaf assembly to include the features in the local-repo. - Added my "platform" feature as bootFeature
Now, the sad part is that I get som other problems since the behaviour seems not to be the same when the feature is located in the at startup local-repo compared to provided in the deploy folder (ok, I know it ends up there anyway later on). -- View this message in context: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/KAR-deploy-order-tp3789754p3792965.html Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
