I've run into an issue with the karaf-maven-plugin's assembly packaging
and changes to ActiveMQ's features files upcoming in 5.9.1. We are
using a custom build of ActiveMQ 5.9.0 cherry-picking some OSGi fixes
from the upcoming 5.9.1 release:
4689b43aff001c975d70270f59add0f661803698 - AMQ-4844
014ba867cbc0b005b32dc6303ca214ce917b68be - AMQ-4909.
The main issue is that they've split their feature file into two parts,
org.apache.activemq/activemq-karaf/5.9.1-SNAPSHOT/xml/features and
org.apache.activemq/activemq-karaf/5.9.1-SNAPSHOT/xml/features-core.
Their features.xml has a <repository> reference to features-core.xml.
The issue is that the karaf-maven-plugin doesn't read the repository
element so the resulting assembly lacks both features-core.xml and the
bundles those features reference. Also, adding features-core.xml as a
maven dependency doesn't work either since it's classifier is
features-core rather than features. I know there's a bunch of fixes for
the plugin coming in 3.0.1 so I tried this with a build of the latest of
the 3.0.x branch and it still has issues. With 3.0.1-SNAPSHOT the
assembly contains the features-core.xml but none of the bundles
referenced by those features. Is this something you'd consider a bug in
the karaf-maven-plugin or is using a features file with classifier
features-core considered a no-no and should be forwarded to the ActiveMQ
list?
Thanks,
