David Jencks commented on KARAF-365:
------------------------------------

Can you take a look at the karaf-assembly packaging?  I think it does something like this in a much more convenient way.

I'm hoping to get an example karaf-assembly (although it will need to use the mojos separately) into the karaf build soon, but there is currently an example at

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/djencks/txmanager

> .kar files could be installed via maven but basically nothing more than merging them into the "repository" happens. This should do it for now, should be simple to implement but allow an additional abstraction layer since entire packages could be used without looking at the features file at this place at all. 
> I'm not sure by now how useful this will be since you can do the same via the feature file (which is anyhow required to build a kar file). But at least it would assist to make .kar to the default packaging for karaf features.
