Hi John I=92ve been playing in the past quite a bit with custom distributions, = and own features. My current approach is:
(1) Proceed with the custom distribution according to [1] = http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest-2.2.x/developers-guide/custom-distri= bution.html (2) Write manual features.xml that is later packaged in an own bundle = pulling all required dependencies. You can find an example on how this = can be achieved in [2] = https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=3Dcamel.git;a=3Dtree;f=3Dplatfor= ms/karaf/features;h=3Dc25f336d154df0d13dfd8ab8291f522f282c8652;hb=3DHEAD Hope this helps, Kind regards, Christoph On 17 Nov 2013, at 16:37, John D.
