Hi Tim, as Christian already stated, you have two different ways of configuring. 1) inisde the feature itself as <config> element 2) as external location, for example an URI to a resource located in a Maven Repository. But here you can reference any valid URI pattern where a corresponding URI handler is registered.
An example for such a use-case may also be found here [1], it's the feature file for Pax-Web, it references an external file located in a Maven Repository. regards, Achim [1] - https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.web/blob/master/pax-web-features/src/main/resources/features.xml#L91 2016-11-28 16:22 GMT+01:00 Tim Ward <t...@telensa.com>: > On 28/11/2016 15:14, Christian Schneider wrote: > >> On 28.11.2016 15:14, Tim Ward wrote: >> >>> Thanks - replies inline: >>> >>> On 28/11/2016 13:50, Christian Schneider wrote: >>> >>>> You already found the confiFile option for features.
