However, ServiceMix Kernel provides several URL handlers, in addition to the usual ones (file, http, etc...). One of these is the maven URL handler, which allow reusing maven repositories to point to the bundles.
Maven URL Handler
The equivalent of the above bundle would be:
...
In addition to being less verbose, the maven url handlers can also resolve snapshots and can use a local copy of the jar if one is available in your maven local repository.
The org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn bundle resolves mvn URLs. This flexible tool can be configured through the configuration service. For example, to find the current repositories type:
| Code Block |
|---|
karaf@root:/> config/list ... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pid: org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn BundleLocation: mvn:org.ops4j.pax.url/pax-url-mvn/0.3.3 Properties: service.pid = org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories = file:/opt/development/karaf/assembly/target/apache-felix-karaf-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT/system@snapshots org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories = http://repo1.maven.org/maven2, http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository<at:var at:name="snapshots" />noreleases, http://repository.ops4j.org/maven2, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/m2-repo below = list of repositories and even before the local repository |
The repositories checked are controlled by these configuration properties.
For example, org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories is a comma separate list of repository URLs specifying those remote repositories to be checked. So, to replace the defaults with a new repository at http://www.example.org/repo on the local machine:
| Code Block |
|---|
karaf@root:/> config/edit org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn
karaf@root:/> config/proplist
service.pid = org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.defaultRepositories = file:/opt/development/karaf/assembly/target/apache-felix-karaf-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT/system@snapshots
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories = http://repo1.maven.org/maven2,
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository<at:var at:name="snapshots" />noreleases,
http://repository.ops4j.org/maven2,
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/m2-repo
below = list of repositories and even before the local repository
karaf@root:/> config/propset org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories http://www.example.org/repo
karaf@root:/> config/update

Dependant features
Dependant features are usefull when a given feature depends on another feature to be installed. Such a dependency can be expressed easily in the feature definition:
