- DOSGi Apache Karaf Feature : Allows installation in Apache Karaf using the feature commands (Available as of CXF-DOSGi 1.4.0)
- DOSGi Multi Bundle Distribution: Zip file containing the Distributed OSGi bundles, as well as all their dependencies
- DOSGi Single Bundle Distribution: Convenience distribution of a single bundle that embeds all the dependencies
Which distribution to take? That depends on what you are doing. The single-bundle distribution is a really convenient way of getting started as it provides all of Distributed OSGi plus its dependencies in one.
The multi-bundle distribution is obviously a little more work to install, but the fine-grained bundles do have an extra benefit: they allow sharing. So if your application depends on one or more of the library bundles, it can use them from the multi-bundle distribution. Similarly, the multi-bundle distribution makes it possible to update the dependency bundles - if compatible - without having to replace the Distributed OSGi bundles.
