Richard S. Hall resolved FELIX-481.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I have committed a patch to remove the default URL completely, which means that OBR must be configured now to have a repository. This should address this issue when combined with other related patches from other issues to address lazy loading. Alin, since you open this, could you close it if you think this is reasonably? Thanks.

> By default (if no repository is configured) BundleRepository uses http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/obr2/repository.xml as a default repository. As Richard mentioned on the mailing list this repository is more a "didactic" repository.  Having this repo is somehow then useless and adds confusion to the unexperimented (e.g. one has a wrong spelled config "obr.repository.url". In that case the default is used => expected bundles will not be found)
> I suggest the following alternatives:
> 1. No default => fail to initialize with an misconfiguration exception
> 2. use the osgi alliance repository
> 3. use a (to be created) felix obr repository
