Description

In Karaf 3.0.x (up to 3.0.1), when deploying a KAR archive programatically using the KarService.install(URI) method , the KAR archive would get installed, its features would get started, and only then the method would return. This can be very useful when we want to control precisely a particular sequence of kar and service start and registration.

With the current version of Karaf-3.0.2-SNAPSHOT, the KarService return right after the installation of the kar archive. Features do not get started before the method returns.

This currently breaks our production build and tests because our plugin load order sequence cannot be guaranteed anymore.
