[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-971) Add support for version ranges in features descriptor element

["Jean-Baptiste Onofré (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-971?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14070835#comment-14070835 ] 

Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-971:
--------------------------------------------

I added an itest to show the version range is support in feature XML <repository/> tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=karaf.git;a=commitdiff;h=2bc415ca961d04535d8967e2eab15b2ce841966d

It works for Karaf 2.3.x and Karaf 2.x, not yet on Karaf 3.x/4.x (as it's not yet supported by pax-url-aether, see https://ops4j1.jira.com/browse/PAXURL-280).

> Some features include a <repository/> element to refer to another feature descriptor.  For example: http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/camel/karaf/apache-camel/2.8.2/apache-camel-2.8.2-features.xml contains a reference to the CXF features descriptor. 
> For referring to the cxf feature, it already uses a version range [2.4, 2.6) and if you put the same version range on the repository element URL, it would just get resolved by Pax Url Maven support.  
> It would be good if the features service would first check for a matching features descriptor - if there's already a matching descriptor installed, it could just use the existing and skip/ignore the repository resolution.
