Minor Description
I have a custom feature that looks roughly like this:
<feature name="..." version="${project.version}" resolver="(obr)">
<feature version="[2,3)">war</feature>
...
<bundle start-level="90">war:mvn:org.apache.activemq/activemq-web-console/5.5.0/war?Web-ContextPath=/ServiceHost/jms-console</bundle>
</feature>
This feature fails to load via featuresBoot with the following error message:
Error when installing feature avid-servicehost-jms: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: war
The "war" feature in standard-2.2.2-features.xml has this line:
<bundle>mvn:org.ops4j.pax.url/pax-url-war/1.2.7</bundle>
But that line is currently useless to my scenario. The pax-url-war bundle must be loaded before my features.xml is even validated or the error occurs. So, I'm forced to include pax-url-war in startup.properties.
I would prefer that if the features manager encounters a malformed URL, then it should load prerequisites before throwing. This would, for example, allow us to put pax-url-wrap as an optional load instead of in startup.properties.
