Description

Some repos are not available from Central, required by org.apache.karaf:org.apache.karaf.main:bundle:2.2.5 :

1. org.eclipse:osgi:jar:3.6.2.R36x_v20110210 --> This is only available from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/m2-repo, which needs to be added to <repositories> or documented in the "BUILDING" guide.

Ironically, this artifact isn't even available in Eclipse Foundation's own http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus !

2. biz.aQute:bndlib:jar:0.0.313. It is available from http://www.aqute.biz/repo, however newer versions are available from Central.

To use the latest bndlib, edit src/pom.xml, and add inside dependencyManagement:

<dependency>
<groupId>biz.aQute</groupId>
<artifactId>bndlib</artifactId>
<version>1.50.0</version>
</dependency>

Meanwhile, Maven Bundle Plugin is already on version 2.3.7, so it's better to upgrade:

        <felix.plugin.version>2.3.7</felix.plugin.version>
