Hello Robert,

Yes.

At the moment, I'm having trouble connecting from the Agent bundle runnin=

on Karaf (installed via feature.xml generated by the maven-karaf-plugin,=C2=

see below).
It seems that plugin fetches artifacts from Maven Central, and our curren=

.8.1-incubator releases which are really old and should not be used. Inst=
ead, please use the artifacts from the latest binary release. I assume th=
at a lot of the other problems you have come from the fact that you are w=
orking with these old versions.

The agent is now a single bundle, so there is no need to make a feature o=
ut of it (org.apache.ace.agent.jar).

I would actually recommend you start with the launcher (org.apache.ace.la=
uncher.felix.jar), which bootstraps the =46elix framework and this agent =
and then install all of your other bundles via ACE.=C2=A0

I'd appreciate any guidance on how to debug this=21 Using Ace would be so=

much nicer than rolling my own to do the same thing=21=C2=A0
The (new) agent has an option (-v) to start in verbose mode. That means i=
t will output all internal logging to the console, which is usually a goo=
d starting point for diagnosis.

Greetings, Marcel
