Sling in Karaf

Sling in Karaf

Just found out that you can run Apache Sling in Karaf.


There is a contributed bundle, contrib/launchpad/karaf in Sling SVN. The bundle defines a simple Karaf features for Sling.


Instruction is included in README.txt in the bundle project.


Now you can create your custom bundles, create a features definition and use the Karaf Shell to manage your bundles during development. Say you are using declarative service, you can start and stop the provider(s) and test that the consumer(s) are behaving as expected.

OSGi rocks!
