Deploying multiple Osgi bundles as a single bundle to Fabric

[abhishekkoneru6790]

I was wondering if there is any way to deploy multiple OSGI bundles as a single bundle in fabric. The reason for this is we do want to deploy each and every bundle manually. Initially we looked at .kar files for deployment but Fuse expertise state that that .kar files are no longer supported.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Response is appreciated

If you use fabric then you just specify all the bundles in the same profile. And then fabric installs all those bundles when you assign this profile to containers.

Thanks for you reply Claus Ibsen.

We are trying to setup a new fuse environment to our client and we want to deploy something like an asset which will take care of a whole bunch of jars.

Currently what we are doing is,

installing a feature repo using : fabric:profile --edit --repositories file:/E:features.xml testProfile

and the feature using:  --edit --features someBundle testProfile

Our features.xml is below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<features xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.0.0" name="MyFeaturesRepo">

  <feature name="example-bundle" resolver="(obr)">

    <bundle start='true'>mvn:com.abhidemo/bundle1/1.0.5</bundle>

  </feature>

</features>

But, we do not see the bundle in the OSGI bundle's list management console.

Is this an expected behaviour??

Because the bundle functionality works fine just that it is not displayed on the OSGI bundles list?

Also is there any better approach that you could suggest us?

Good day,

I have been asking for this feature for about a year. My understanding is that it will not be implemented - the current focus is to deliver fabric8 v2.

p.s. Here is the request: create a 'repository archive' (kinda like an offline repo) which we can upload to a fabric8 as a single operation · Issu…
