I've been following Karaf closely since it was migrated under Felix. I know that Guillaume had done a *lot* of work to get Karaf where it is today. I personally appreciate all of his effort. A well-earned congratulations to Guillaume and everyone else that contributed to Karaf.

In addition, the Karaf also supports exploded bundles > and custom deployers (blueprint and spring ones are included by > default). > * Dynamic configuration: Services are usually configured through > the ConfigurationAdmin OSGi service. Such configuration can be defined > in Karaf using property files inside the [home]/etc directory. These > configurations are monitored and changes on the properties files will > be propagated to the services. > * Logging System: using a centralized logging back end supported > by Log4J, Karaf supports a number of different APIs (JDK 1.4, JCL, > SLF4J, Avalon, Tomcat, OSGi) > * Provisioning: Provisioning of libraries or applications can be > done through a number of different ways, by which they will be > downloaded locally, installed and started. > * Native OS integration: Karaf can be integrated into your own > Operating System as a service so that the lifecycle will be bound to > your Operating System. > * Extensible Shell console: Karaf features a nice text console > where you can manage the services, install new applications or > libraries and manage their state. This shell is easily extensible by > deploying new commands dynamically along with new features or > applications. > * Remote access: use any SSH client to connect to Karaf and issue > commands in the console > * Security framework based on JAAS > * Managing instances: Karaf provides simple commands for managing > multiple instances.
