Creating extensions to Karaf console - loading Maven extensions

[Martin Stiborský <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hello guys,
I just started to creating own extension to Karaf console, to handle some
things to a project I'm running under Karaf.

I went through few tutorial and documentation, how to make a extension,
then I started with own examples, but first of all I had a problem with
"bundle" packacking. Maven build fail, because "bundle" was unknown for
Maven.

The solution is simple (with some already gained knowledge about Maven,
OSGi, ...) ,  just add "<extensions>true</extensions>" to
maven-bundle-plugin.
Why I'm posting here is because, have I missed something? I guess I haven't
seen this thing, needed for a succesfull build in no blogpost, or oficial
Karaf documentation.
If I'm not wrong, why it's not there? I mean, is there some default
settings expected, or is it problem just on my side?

Hi Martin,

guess it's us being kind of blind on that eye to not have linked it
somewhere.
It's documented at the maven-bundle-plugin page at the felix project, see
[1]. I guess
we somehow expect people to already "know" most of the osgi basics and the
tools
around. I'd say we have some room for improvement on this :-)

regards, Achim
