Have you ever found yourself deploying and undeploying a set of bundles into Apache ServiceMix? Do you need an easy way to install these bundles? To make this easy for yourself and your clients, you can use Karaf Features. A feature is a special kind of XML file, known as feature repository.
Here is an example for a custom feature:
<features name="MyCustomRepository">
<feature name="my-custom-feature">
<bundle>mvn:com.mycompany.example/myBundleName1/1.0</bundle>
<bundle>mvn:com.mycompany.example/myBundleName2/1.0</bundle>
</feature>
</features>
