Best practice for migrating a Karaf 3 feature to Karaf 4
What is the best practise for migrating a Kara 3 feature to Karaf 4.
The karaf-maven-plugin many new features. However I can not find good
example how to use it.
In the Karaf git repository the packaging "feature" is not used (only in
integration tests).
Is it deprecated?
Thank you in advance
Richard

Hi,
That’s true, but you can use "template", so it’s kind of mixed approach: the bundle version comes from the Maven dependency set, and the features structure is "manual".

In Karaf 3 we defined configurations and features in the features.xml file
(input file). The bundle came from the Maven dependendies.
So we use a mixed approach.
I will try now to define everything in feature.xml.
I see one disadvantage here. I cannot define the bundle versions directly
in the Maven dependency management section. I have to define for each
bundle version a Maven property.

Hi Richard,
It depends if you want to generate features manually or with the help of the plugin.
Generally speaking, for complete control, we do the features XML (or json) by hand (especially to split cleanly features, use dependency or prerequisite flags).
