Major Description
Currently we use the karaf-maven-plugin and some xslt processing to create the multi bundle distro. The problem is that the plugin installs a lot more bundles than needed. The approach is also not compatible to the karaf-maven-plugin 4.x.
I propose to use the bnd-indexer-plugin and bnd-export-plugin instead. So we just need to provide a pom based repo for the backing bundles and a bndrun file with the requires.
This makes it a lot simpler to tweak and maintain the distro. It also keeps the distro a lot smaller ( about half the size).
