Description

Normally, variables defined in custom.properties can be used in configuration files handled by FileInstall. For some reason this does not seem to work in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg.

E g, this works:

• Put the following line in custom.properties:

logdir=data/log

• Put the following line in org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg:

log4j.appender.info.file=${logdir}/info.log

But this does NOT work:

• Put the following line in custom.properties:

var = mvn:org.apache.karaf.features/standard/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/xml/features,mvn:org.apache.karaf.features/enterprise/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/xml/features,mvn:org.apache.karaf.features/spring/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/xml/features

• Put the following line in org.apache.karaf.features.cfg:

featuresRepositories = ${var}

This has been discussed on the Karaf user list:
