Description

Some projects create distributions for karaf, felix and equinox.
For karaf it is required to create feature repo file.

For equinox and felix it is required to export the bundles into a flat directory and to create a start config that contains the bundles to be started and their start levels.

So the idea is to only create a karaf feature repo file and create the other distros out of this information.

Exporting the bundles into a flat structure is already implemented.

Creating the configs for felix and equinox directly would restrict the maintainer of the distro too much. So we simply export the meta data of the resolved features into an xml file.

A script from the distro can then use this information to create the configs.
