             Summary: karaf-maven-plugin missing default feature descriptors
                 Key: KARAF-2655
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2655
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Amichai Rothman
            Priority: Minor


The karaf-maven-plugin's features-add-to-repository [documentation|http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/developers-guide/karaf-maven-plugin-features-add-to-repository.html] states that
{quote}
By default, the Karaf core features descriptors (standard and enterprise) are automatically included in the descriptors set.
{quote}
However, adding e.g. the "scr" standard feature doesn't work (it can't find the feature) unless the standard feature url is explicitly specified, i.e.
{quote}
{noformat}
<descriptor>mvn:org.apache.karaf.features/standard/${karaf.version}/xml/features</descriptor>
{noformat}
{quote}
So either the documentation is wrong (in which case it would be nice to have it mention all the built-in feature urls one can choose from) or there is a regression bug (it worked ok in the 2.3.3 equivalent plugin.)

In addition, the "spring" feature no longer works without an explicit reference to the spring descriptor url (this worked ok in the older plugin as well, and in 3.0.0 it doesn't work even if the standard/enterprise feature descriptors are configured explicitly). This should also either be mentioned in docs, or added to defaults for backwards compatibility.

Finally, the example pom in the same documentation page is not up to date either regarding both of these issues. It should be corrected to reflect a working example with consistent configuration.
