Hello João ! First, thanks for your answer.
I see your dependency as "provided", so I suppose that you assume that classes are exported by some bundle. In my case I didn't find any standard feature with a bundle that exports the required annotations packages. What did you do to get them at runtime ? As I aim to provide custom shell commands, I'd initially prefer to use a basic OSGi design, and using annotations, and. with the SCR files being generated by the bundle plugin. An alternate solution could be using Karaf packages, as described in these examples ( https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/main/examples/karaf-command-example/karaf-command-example-command/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/examples/command/command/AddCommand.java ). But this also fails : my custom command is not correctly detected and installed. An idea of the best way to do that ? Thanks again. Regards.
