karaf-application-assembly
Karaf customization assembly demo, building together an offline karaf application with pre-installed Camel, Drools and ActiveMQ features.
Background
Apache Karaf has great feature for installing applications using the maven protocol. Applications can be defined as karaf features - which are basically the superset of jar files and other features - which can be deployed easily from a maven repository. This is great for development, but not really good for production where usually the preferred way is to release the jar files together with the container.
This demo project puts together a customized karaf build with some pre-defined features, producing a container, which will run the predefined application components once you start it.
Features
- Branded console
- Prebuilt offline repository, installed as part of the container
- Preconfigured to run felix OSGi container
- Customized instance name
- Based on karaf 3.0.2
- Windows and Unix support
How to build and run
Check out the project and build it with maven
$ mvn clean install
Go to the target folder of assemble module
$ cd assemble/target/karaf-distro-demo-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/karaf-distro-demo-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/
Run karaf
$ bin/karaf
Once the container starts, it deploys all bundles (about 150) from its offline repository (about 50MB). You can see that ActiveMQ, Camel, Drools features are installed
