Hi John sorry for the inconvenient URL postings.
I have an example for a features file here: [1] features.xml (1) What is obvious is, that you are putting all your bundle dependencies into a single feature. This is quite unusual from my perspective. (2) You need to make your feature visible to your application container. This can be manually conducted via: features:addurl mvn:<path-to-your-features-file> But it is also possible to conduct that via an entry in your ‘org.apache.karaf.features.cfg’ that you need to adjust when building your custom distribution. (3) The created bundle may be also copied over to your $KARAF_HOME/lib directory to get resolved (in case you do not want to pull it from any maven repo. Let me know of you have any further questions. - Christoph On 18 Nov 2013, at 13:36, John D. Ament <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Christoph > > Thanks for the response.
