[jira] Commented: (KARAF-497) Resolve mvn: urls in element for features-maven-plugin:add-features-to-repo

["David Jencks (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-497?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13006231#comment-13006231 ] 

David Jencks commented on KARAF-497:
------------------------------------

IMO this is a terrible idea.  Maven projects should express their structure in the maven pom.  The only way this is plausible would be to construct a new kind of pom using polyglot maven.

The karaf-assembly packaging takes the alternate viewpoint that you only specify stuff as dependencies and all the dependencies are put into the assembled server.

Please justify or close this.

> When setting up features-maven-plugin:add-features-to-repo with a mvn: url in the <features/> element, it would be nice if the plugin could resolve the artifact before trying to load the file to avoid having to specify an explicit dependency to fetch the file first.
