I see, thank you for the explanation and for adding a more permissive behaviour to the karaf-maven-plugin.
Just to know a little bit better how to control the refreshes, in general my understanding is the following <bundle>/<feature> directives will install the bundle or the feature, no matter what is already installed dependency=“true" will install the bundle/feature if and only if it is required by the resolver and it is not already installed prerequisite=“true" will guarantee the prerequisite feature will be installed before the other stuff in the feature declaration Is this correct? Is there any other attribute that can be used to control feature-based provisioning?
