KAR third party dependencies

[Stephen Munro]

Hello,

I'm having trouble creating a self contained KAR file, which depends on
another KAR file (see below). KAR A specifies some core features such as
activemq and cxf. KAR B depends on KAR A.

What I am finding is when I drop KAR B into the deploy folder of karaf, it
is still going to the internet to fetch third party components such as
activemq. The KAR A does not contain any of these features in it's
repository folder and likewise, KAR B is missing it, so it needs to go to
the net to fetch it. Is there something I am doing wrong or is my
understanding of KAR deployment incorrect?
