I'm working on a set of PRs for jackson, to build and attach karaf feature repositories on the jackson OSGi bundles: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/2434
I'm currently working on karaf feature support for jackson-jaxrs-providers https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-jaxrs-providers/issues/115 And I have encountered a chicken-and-egg problem: 1. The rs-api dependency in the top POM is made provided with a comment that the runtime is expected to provide https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-jaxrs-providers/blob/master/pom.xml#L57 2. The jackson-jaxrs-base feature (the feature generated from the first module) fails to load because the rs-api isn't present I have resolved similar conflicts elsewhere by depending on built-in karaf properties, e.g. the "hibernate" and "transaction-api", ie. deferred the actual loading of an actual version to be the responsibility of the karaf istance the jackson feature is used in. But I haven't found a built-in feature (either in karaf directly or in the OPS4J stuff) that loads the jax-rs rs-api bundle. Is there a feature for rs-api, and have I missed it? Or isn't there such a feature? I guess the cxf features will load rs-api...? But they will probably load other stuff I don't want, that would conflict with jersey...? Thanks! - Steinar
