             Summary: Add direct resource repositories support
                 Key: KARAF-6000
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-6000
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: karaf
            Reporter: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
            Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
             Fix For: 4.2.2


Since OSGi R6, the "new" bundle repository spec allows to directly leverage any requirement/capability to do the bundle resolution.

We already support this via the features (using {{resourceRepository}} with json or XML in {{etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg}}. I think it would be great to have a complete alternative to features using bundle repository. We could introduce a minimal feature set (just for the bootstrapping) as we have today, but delegating to {{etc/org.apache.karaf.repository.cfg}} for resource repositories and using them for resolution.

We could also provide specific commands to manipulate the bundle repositories (like add, remove, as we have for features repositories).
