I'm having a small problem constructing a KAR file. Basically, I have a pom with the type set to KAR. The maven plugin generates a KAR file, which contains some of the libraries, specifically my OSGI bundles and their dependencies.
The problem is that the requirements specified in the feature file i.e <feature>cxf-jaxrs</feature> are not pulled into the KAR file. I assumed that the KAR file was meant to be a self contained deployment artifact with no requirement to fetch additional dependencies, thus making it suitable for production environments where network access is restricted. Is this assumption incorrect. As a side note, I attempted to use the karaf assembly task. I've found the documentation on this goal to be extremely scarce and I've not managed to find any examples which use this particular goal. When attempting to learn/use it, I was hit with many null pointer exceptions, leading me to believe that the assembly goal is buggy. Can someone confirm the status of this and/or demonstrate a working example? -- Warmest Regards, Stephen Munro -- Warmest Regards, Stephen Munro
