[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-3940) Make it possible / easy to configure which spring version Karaf uses

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-3940?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14704415#comment-14704415 ] 

Claus Ibsen commented on KARAF-3940:
------------------------------------

Wonder if a general solution could be to allow to upgrade / change versions with this command

karaf@root> features:listversions spring
Version            Repository    Repository URL
[3.1.4.RELEASE   ] spring-2.4.3 mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/spring/2.4.3/xml/features
[3.2.11.RELEASE_1] spring-2.4.3 mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/spring/2.4.3/xml/features
[4.0.7.RELEASE_1 ] spring-2.4.3 mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/spring/2.4.3/xml/features
[4.1.6.RELEASE_1 ] spring-2.4.3 mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/spring/2.4.3/xml/features

eg have a way of changing the version, so you can say 3.2.11_RELEASE_1 -> 3.2.14_RELEASE_1.

> It would be great if the spring version that karaf uses is configured in one of the etc config files. So people can easily upgrade by changing the version in that file.
> Today you cannot do that and its a hazzle to upgrade spring. In fact very hard as the spring version is hardcoded in the features file
>  true    mvn:org.apache.karaf.assemblies.features/spring/2.4.3/xml/features
> The reason is that spring has frequent releases and often they have security issues in their new releases. Or some 3rd party libraries with osgi ranges requires a higher version, even on patch level, eg 3.2.13
