Description

To reproduce the problem:

feature:repo-add mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/apache-cxf/3.1.1/xml/features
feature:repo-add mvn:org.apache.camel.karaf/apache-camel/2.15.2/xml/features
feature:repo-add mvn:org.apache.activemq/activemq-karaf/5.11-SNAPSHOT/xml/features

feature:install activemq
feature:install activemq-client

feature:install camel
feature:install cxf

feature:install -v -t cxf-ws-policy

The result of the last command is in file karaf-refresh-problem which is attached to this bug. In short:

karaf@root()> feature:install -v -t cxf-ws-policy
Adding features: cxf-ws-policy/[3.1.1,3.1.1]
No deployment change.
  Bundles to refresh:
    activemq-karaf/5.11.0.SNAPSHOT (Wired to org.apache.activemq.activemq-osgi/5.11.0.SNAPSHOT which is being refreshed)
    javax.mail/1.4.4 (Wired to org.apache.activemq.activemq-osgi/5.11.0.SNAPSHOT which is being refreshed)
    jline/2.12.1 (Wired to org.apache.activemq.activemq-osgi/5.11.0.SNAPSHOT which is being refreshed)
    net.sf.ehcache/2.9.0 (Wired to org.apache.aries.transaction.manager/1.0.0 which is being refreshed)
    (about 90 other bundles)
karaf@root()>

In the same time, if I slightly change the order of feature installation (install activemq-client before activemq), then the refresh doesn't happen:

karaf@root()> feature:install -v -t cxf-ws-policy
Adding features: cxf-ws-policy/[3.1.1,3.1.1]
No deployment change.
karaf@root()> 

Note regarding AMQ vesrion - I'm using 5.11-SNAPSHOT because of a fix for another bundle refresh problem: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5821
