features-maven-plugin ignores configuration?

[Benjamin Debeerst]

Hi all,

I've been setting up a pom to create a kar-file for distribution. I found JB's 
blog post very helpful:
http://blog.nanthrax.net/2011/12/do-you-know-the-apache-karaf-maven-plugins/

I recognized it's very old and updated the plugin version to 2.3.0 (release). 
You find my pom at the end of the email.

The maven execution mvn features:create-kar fails with the following message:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
org.apache.karaf.tooling:features-maven-plugin:2.3.0:create-kar (default-cli) 
on project test-features: Could not interpret features
XML file: D:\temp\test-kar\target\feature\feature.xml (Das System kann den 
angegebenen Pfad nicht finden) : 
file:/D:/temp/test-kar/target/feature/feature.xml

It does not find the feature xml. But it looks at the wrong place. 
D:\temp\test-kar\ is the project folder. The feature xml is thus in 
D:\temp\test-kar\src\main\resources, as defined in the pom.

When I run mvn with the -X switch, I see this:
[DEBUG] Configuring mojo 
org.apache.karaf.tooling:features-maven-plugin:2.3.0:create-kar from plugin 
realm ClassRealm[plugin>org.apache.karaf.tooling:features-maven-plugin:2.3.0, 
parent: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@35ce36]
[DEBUG] Configuring mojo 
'org.apache.karaf.tooling:features-maven-plugin:2.3.0:create-kar' with basic 
configurator -->
[DEBUG]   (f) featureArtifactType = xml
[DEBUG]   (f) featuresFile = D:\temp\test-kar\target\feature\feature.xml
[DEBUG]   (f) finalName = test-features-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Obviously the configuration is not used. Am I missing something? Or is this a 
known issue?

Best,
Benjamin
