Hi all, hope everyone is doing well. Happy spring to those of you in the northern hemisphere!
I'm just coming out of hibernation myself and looking at the features-maven-plugin and the generate-feature-xml goal in particular. The main plugin page links to http://karaf.apache.org/manual/2.2.5/developers-guide/features-maven-plugin-generate.html, but it doesn't appear to to be quite accurate, for instance the goal in the example is shown as "generate" when the page that linked to this one said the page non-deprecated goal was "generate-features-xml". Muddling through it, I see a lot of references to the "bundles" parameter around the net, but it never seems to get explained anywhere. It appears to point to a properties file, but when I look at the code, it's just a list of artifacts in the form "g/a/v/type". It was confusing because I've never seen properties files that are not "key=value" before. I'm assuming that the file is a list of bundles that are not provided as dependencies in the POM. What I'm guessing is that this is really all very irrelevant to what I am trying to do, which is cause Karaf to load a wrapped jar (postgresql to be specific). It appears that is not possible because if the bundle metadata is not available, the jar is not added. It might be useful instead to have such a jar added to the features as a "wrap:mvn:" protocol artifact. $0.02... Cheers, Brian
