[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-934) Provide a way to select which features are to be installed when dropping a descriptor to the deploy folder.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-934?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13126244#comment-13126244 ] 

David Jencks commented on KARAF-934:
------------------------------------

Lets also consider lining up karaf feature support more with what's in the osgi subsystem spec.  There, a subsystem (including a feature) is a jar with some manifest-like files indicating its contents (and isolation, etc etc).  In particular there isn't an idea of a "feature repository" containing several features.  I think you can represent a "feature repository" with an obr xml repository document, but I haven't tried.

>From this point of view, the problem is that we should be using features rather than feature repositories.  Then its pretty clear what to do if you deploy a single feature.

> Currently when dropping a feature in the deploy folder it automatically starts all features (including transient).
> However, there are cases that the use doesn't want to install all of them. We need to provide a way to select which of the features are to be installed.
