I've been playing a bit more on this. I think what I'm running into is the same as this bug:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-3806 Basically what I've found is this: if the organization name has a period in it (e.g. "org.springframework") the kar deployer attempts to resolve against maven central instead of the kar file. If the organization name does not have a period then it resolves against the kar file. It seems that the presence of a "." makes it think it is a URL and changes the behaviour of the resolver. -- View this message in context: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/KAR-Deployer-Not-Working-in-Karaf-2-4-2-tp4043057p4043062.html Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
