Does the same appply to features? Because I've noticed an improvement, after marking the dependent features as dependency="true":
<feature dependency="true">service1-core</feture> However, if I've done the same for all my features, including system ones (jpa, transaction-api, transaction etc.) I've ended up with my bundles not starting because the blueprint namespace handlers were not installed... I've reached the point where the whole orchestration is very fragile. I need often to stop Karaf after installing all features and start it again, so that everything starts fine. -- Sent from: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Karaf-User-f930749.html
