Hello!
How to test it in Karaf? Start fresh (with Karaf 4.3.3 for example), uncomment "karaf" user in etc/users.properties and:
karaf@root()> repo-remove mvn:org.ops4j.pax.web/pax-web-features/7.3.19/xml/features
karaf@root()> feature:install maven
karaf@root()> maven:repository-add -id pax-web-8 https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/orgops4j-1524/
karaf@root()> repo-add mvn:org.ops4j.pax.web/pax-web-features/8.0.0/xml/features
karaf@root()> feature:install pax-web-http-jetty pax-web-war
karaf@root()> bundle:install -s 'webbundle:mvn:io.hawt/hawtio-war/2.13.6/war?Web-ContextPath=/hawtio'
Now, I can click "Release" button any time soon and Pax Web 8 will be available in Maven Central. I just hope for a little feedback about the above steps ;)
kind regards
