== Apache Karaf

http://karaf.apache.org[Apache Karaf] is a modular OSGi server that integrates very well with Aries.
Most aries subprojects can be installed into Apache Karaf using features.
For example *feature:install jndi* installs the Aries jndi modules.

== Samples

The easiest way to use the samples is to download the source zip, navigate to the appropriate 'assembly' module and run mvn install to download all the released  binary artifacts.
Alternatively you can build the entire source.
