Description

Some resources are spread in the different Karaf bundle.

For example, Properties can be found in:

• shell/config/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/shell/config/Properties.java
• shell/dev/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/shell/dev/util/Properties.java

In the same way, the variable substitution mechanism (spread across several util classes).

I'm gonna create a util module which gather this kind of resources.

The question is the format of this module:

• a simple jar, usable directly in the Main (required for variables subsitution)
• a bundle
