Spring based bundle on apache karaf doesn't work

I am creating a spring based bundle with maven with the following command

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-spring -DarchetypeVersion=2.15.3 -DgroupId=osgiSpring -DartifactId=osgiSpring -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -Dpackage=osgiSpring

Then i imported this maven project into eclipse and just change the 'camel-context.xml' to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
  <route>
    <from uri="file:C:\input"/>
    <to uri="file:C:\output"/>
  </route>
</camelContext>

</beans>

After that I built it with 'mvn package' and then I copied the generated jar into Apache Karafs' deploy folder but karaf doesn't seem to recognize this bundle.

When I run it with 'mvn:camel run' it works just fine.

It also worked with a non spring based bundle with an Activator.

Your problem is that camel-archetype-spring generates pom.xml with just camel-maven-plugin which as you noticed allows you to run your code via 'mvn camel:run'. However, it does not generate proper OSGi manifest so Karaf won't recognise it as OSGi bundle.

Solution: Add maven-bundle-plugin like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.7</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
</plugin>

and set packaging to bundle like this:

<packaging>bundle</packaging>

You can read about other configuration options available to maven-bundle-plugin here. I suggest you check your jar file's META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file before and after you make these changes so you get the grasp of what changes there.
