How to deploy a Java container using fabric-mode on a JBoss Fuse (Karaf)

Is there any way to deploy a java container on a JBoss Fuse fabric?

I'm going to write some services to be deployed on JBoss Fuse 6.3, backed by Karaf, not EAP. Fuse is deployed on-premise in fabric-mode, and uses OSGi under the hoods at least to manage the cluster infrastructure.

Fabric8 supports plain child java containers, but even if Fuse is based on Fabric8, probably it doesn't officially support this scenario.

For many reasons I don't want to run my services on OSGi classloaders, so I'd prefer deploying them on simple java containers, still managed by the fabric.

Is it feasible?

While Fuse 6.3 is based on Fabric8 1.2, it does not support neither Standalone-Java, Spring-Boot nor Docker containers yet, as it's based on a specific fork of Fabric8. It can be found here: https://github.com/jboss-fuse/fabric8

The gitbook documentation you are referring to, represents Fabric 1.2 vanilla, whereas the Fuse version also resides in this repository: https://github.com/jboss-fuse/fabric8/tree/1.2.0.redhat-6-3-x/docs. If you would like to have more proof, you can even see the adapted modified documentation.

While Fuse 7.0 will bring all the Kubernetes container niceness, I also was playing with the thought on myself what I would need to unofficially patch Fuse in order to bring such profiles in (fabric-process-container), but of course it won't be supported by anyone.
