Hello Cedric,
Is this the only feature you have in the build? If so, can you make a
minimal reproducer, so we can evaluate bug?
Best,

Hi,
We are currently using Karaf 4.4.7 and would like to install - not start
- a feature using the karaf-maven-plugin. The goal is to build a
distribution which provides some installed features - ready to
participate in capability / requirement resolution, being activated
automatically by potential consumers - which are not started. Features
should only be started when required by other additional features being
added to the distribution.
Using the CLI, this can be easily achieved with features:install -s.
Using the Maven plugin, we currently tried (among others, but that seems
the best approach):
...
<dependency>
<groupId>myGroupId</groupId>
<artifactId>myFeaturesCollection</artifactId>
<version>7.4.0-20250718115859_72_11ed374</version>
<classifier>features</classifier>
<type>xml</type>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.karaf.tooling</groupId>
<artifactId>karaf-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.4.7</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<startupFeatures>
<startupFeature>eventadmin</startupFeature>
</startupFeatures>
<bootFeatures>
<bootFeature>standard</bootFeature>
</bootFeatures>
_ <installedRepositories>_
_ <installedRepository>mvn:_myGroupId_/
_myFeaturesCollection_/7.4.0-20250718115859_72_11ed374/xml/features</
installedRepository>_
_ </installedRepositories>_
<installedFeatures>
<installedFeature>scr</installedFeature>
<installedFeature>myFeature</_installedFeature_>
</installedFeatures>
<archiveZip>false</archiveZip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
The result is (hope this will end up being more or less readable):
karaf@user()> feature:list
Name │ Version
│ Required │ State │ Repository │
Description
───────────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┼──────────┼─────────────┼─────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────
myFeature │ 2.0.2.20250718115859_72_11ed374 │ │
Uninstalled │ myFeaturesCollection │ KISTERS :: myFeature
scr │ 4.4.7
│ │ Uninstalled │ standard-4.4.7 │
Declarative Service support
So it seems to have no effect - unlike using the CLI.
The build log however shows:

Is this a bug or do we do something wrong?
Thanks!
