Hi Jens,

I've created a Karaf feature for the ECF Bundle Manager here:

http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/kuratest/karaf4-features.xml

You can install this directly on a Karaf4/Java8 instance.  Note that it requires the Karaf scr feature to be installed.

When installed, it will export an instance of the IBundleManager remote service [1] and print to the karaf console the OSGI Endpoint Description Extender Format (EDEF) xml metadata for the remote service.  This is configurable, and it has defaults/System.out for test purposes.

This feature only creates the IBundleManager, but also available are the managers described here [2], any of which may be easily added.  Other remote services can/could easily be created (e.g. remote configuration, remote access to kura services, etc).

All of these remote services can be exported via an MQTT Provider [3], so a separate server is not necessary.

We also have an Eclipse UI/views for using the IBundleManager.   Please let me know if you would like to try that and I will create and point you at the p2 repos.

Sounds great. I think there was one Maven plugin to create a KAR from P2 features. .. Here it is [1].

That should work similar to the OSGi DP maven plugin. But it does not create a feature.

So maybe it is time for another Maven plugin ;-)

Hi Jens,

Yes, it's easy enough to create a Karaf feature for these mgmt bundles.
I'm a little preoccupied until this weekend, but will do then and make it
available to you.

BTW, do you know of any good tooling to create karaf features (e.g. from
p2 feature groups)?

In the mean time, you can install the ECF SDK (does not yet include the
mgmt bundles) into Karaf as per here:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/EIG:Install_into_Apache_Karaf

Note that this includes far more than is needed strictly for the mgmt, but
it was put together for general Karaf usage.
