Hi, you should create feature, which contains all your bundles and all the features your bundle needs. There are cxf and camel features. Blueprint should be installed by default in Karaf.
If feature definition is missing on karaf (e.g. camel) then you should add repository containing it via: <repository>mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.17. 1/xml/features</repository> If other bundles are still missing then you should find features which contains such bundles and add feature enrty in xml or write bundle entry instead. Look at my simple example here: https://github.com/alien11689/feature-toggle/tree/master/ featuretoogle-karaf-feature I think your feature xml should be similar to: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <features xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0"; name="your_features_repo_name"> <feature name="your_feature_name" description="..." version="..."> <repository>mvn:org.apache. camel.karaf/apache-camel/your_camel_version/xml/features</repository> <feature dependency="camel">wrap</feature> <feature dependency="cxf">wrap</feature> <bundle start-level="80">your_bundle</bundle> ... </feature> </features> 2017-02-05 10:53 GMT+01:00 Thomas Vandahl <[email protected]>: > Hi folks, > > I'm a newbie in the OSGi area, so please excuse if I ask silly > questions.
