Hi all, following up on the latest issue with bundle:watch I have a related question. I am using the "standard" (as in documented here <http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/developers-guide/custom-distribution.html>) way to construct a Karaf instance which would run my feature (and a few related ones). Both feature and distribution are created with the karaf-maven-plugin, so all bundles get installed into the system repository to make a self-sufficient distribution.
However, what if I want to do bundle development with this setup? I have tried to use bundle:update in this scenario, but enabling DEBUG log output confirmed my suspicion: Karaf does not look in my local Maven repository for updated SNAPSHOT bundles; it just grabs it from the system repository [1] - where it is not updated, of course, when I call mvn install for a bundle project. My question is therefore: what do you suggest as a "least effort" development cycle, involving bundle:update and (when it works again) bundle:watch? A link to a blogpost, a few lines of description, anything will help :-) Google did not really turn up something for me... Best regards, Oliver [1] Log from a bundle:update call: 2014-10-17 20:31:52,039 | DEBUG | h for user karaf | Connection | 1 - org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn - 2.2.0 | Resolving [mvn:obfuscatedgroupid/obfuscatedartifactid/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT] 2014-10-17 20:31:52,039 | DEBUG | h for user karaf | DefaultLocalRepositoryProvider | 1 - org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn - 2.2.0 | Using manager SimpleLocalRepositoryManager with priority 0.0 for D:\Dev\Eclipse\Misc\obfuscatedapp\karaf-application\application\target\assembly\system 2014-10-17 20:31:52,039 | DEBUG | h for user karaf | AetherBasedResolver | 1 - org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn - 2.2.0 | Resolved (obfuscatedgroupid:obfuscatedartifactid:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT) as D:\Dev\Eclipse\Misc\obfuscatedapp\karaf-application\application\target\assembly\system\some\where\obfuscatedartifactid\0.0.1-SNAPSHOT\obfuscatedartifactid-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
