Hi, just for information. If you combine Karaf with the Karaf subproject Cave you receive a OBR server. This way you can use a Karaf+Cave server as a central OBR server. It'll automatically convert all maven coordinates to OBR. Together with the OBR resolver in Karaf (as additional bundle) you can use your feature files right away. The OBR resolver will do the resolving for you from the OBR server (Karaf+Cave).
