This is the Felix bundle cache, into which installed bundles are
copied so that they are available on restart (note that Felix is
simply the default OSGi runtime underpinning ServiceMix).
Unfortunately AFAIK pax-url doesn't first copy the downloaded bundles
into the local maven repo, or the <smx_home>/system dir, before
installing these bundles into the OSGi runtime.
One slightly messy approach to reconstruct the required maven repo,
would be to look at the feature definition in
<smx_home>/system/org/apache/servicemix/apache-servicemix/<version>/apache-servicemix-<version>-features.xml
and then for each bundle specified in the feature definition (and in
any embedded features) take the elements of form:
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.cxf:cxf-bundle/2.2.1<bundle>
and create a corresponding maven style dependency in a skeletal
pom.xml[1] of form:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-bundle</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1</version>
</dependency>
Then run "mvn install" over this pom.xml with an empty local maven
repo ($HOME/.m2/repository by default).
Then you could simply copy over the populated local maven repo to the
isolated server via a USB stick or whatever.
Its a bit awkward really, and there may be better suggestions
forthcoming on this list.
