In karaf 4 you can easily tweak the distribution by removing a few features from etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg
You should be able to trim it down any way you want, event to an empty list. Though, shell and features are quite recommended if you want to be able to install other features through the console. If you have your own set of features you want to install, you can specify only those. You can also build your own distribution by copying the pom from the apache-karat-minimal distribution and removing the features listed in the pom you don't want and adding the ones you want. This will achieve the same result. 2014-11-24 14:43 GMT+01:00 Kim Hansen <[email protected]>: > I have tried installing Karaf and starting it and can see that it takes 7 > seconds (on my laptop) to load fx.: > > - org.osgi.jmx.* > - org.apache.aries.jmx.* > - org.apache.karaf.shell.* > > But I can't understand why these are being loaded at all for a minimal > distribution? > > I would really like to get a Karaf core version that loads nothing and > starts up in less than a second, and then a manual/guide for how to easily > create core distribution with nothing/one/multiple of these installed. > > While looking through the archive I found these related issues: > > - KARAF-2651 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2651> -- > Minimal distribution should really be minimal > - KARAF-2652 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2652> -- > Create net distribution > > Why does Karaf core load these? >
