| h2. Goal {{features:validate}} |
| |
| The {{features:validate}} goal validates a features XML descriptor by checking if all the required imports for the bundles defined in the features can be matched to a provided export. |
| |
| By default, the plugin tries to add the Karaf standard features (standard and enterprise) in the repositories set. |
| It means that it's not necessary to explicitly define the Karaf features descriptor in the repository section of your features descriptor. |
| |
| h3. Example |
| The example below validates the features defined in the {{target/features.xml}} by checking all the imports and exports. It reads the definition for the packages that are exported by the system bundle from the {{src/main/resources/config.properties}} file. |
