[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-5204) Create dependant feature KAR files when KAR:Create find external feature dependancy

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-5204?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16289291#comment-16289291 ] 

Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on KARAF-5204:
---------------------------------------------

It could work if the provided features repository cleanly provides {{<repository/>}}. Then, we can iterate in the inner defined {{<repository/>}} and create the corresponding kar files.

However, unfortunately, in the case of the Aries RSA, it doesn't define {{<repository/>}} for the SCR feature (which is basically wrong).

> It would be nice if the KAR:Create command could create additional KAR files to capture all the listed dependencies for the requested feature. Currently you have to manually review the feature that you are exporting to a KAR and look for feature references that are external to the feature. This external feature review then has to be performed recursively on each external feature.
> A good example of this is the aries-rsa repo which references the feature "scr", which is defined in the "standard" repository. After I exported aries-rsa, and tried to start it, it was missing the bundle org.apache.karaf.scr:org.apache.karaf.scr.management. Manually created the "standard" KAR to include the "scr" feature and aries-rsa-core feature then started successfully.
