Description

According to this guide
http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/developers-guide/karaf-maven-plugin-features-validate-descriptor.html

You can run this goal to validate your features file, which we do at Apache Camel. But we have been using the older Karaf 2.x plugin to do that. But when upgrading to 4.x the goal is missing.

Where is that goal or has it been removed entirely?
