To be fair, the demo README.txt instructs you to deploy via:
features:install examples-cxf-osgi
Now the definition of this feature encodes a dependency on the cxf-osgi
feature:
<feature name="examples-cxf-osgi" version="4.2.0-fuse-01-00">
<feature version="4.2.0-fuse-01-00">cxf-osgi</feature>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.servicemix.examples/cxf-osgi/4.2.0-fuse-01-00</bundle>
</feature>
Which is why the instructions don't explicitly state that you must install
the cxf-osgi feature, the assumption being that this would have been pulled
in when you installed the examples-cxf-osgi feature as instructed.
Cheers,
