Excluding a frontend bundle in my project

[vinama...@gmail.com]

I am building a project off the DDF 2.13.x branch where I want to exclude the ddf ui wab (Standard Search) in the features file that ends up in my distribution.

I've tried adding :

ace gen-feature --exclude ddf-ui-wab

and

ace gen-feature --exclude ddf-ui

in the "postbuild" of the top package.json but I still see ddf-ui in my features file. 

https://github.com/codice/ddf/blob/master/ui/packages/ace/lib/gen-feature.js#L76

How does excluding in gen-feature work? Am I missing something?

If I instead wanted to blacklist this bundle how would I do that instead?

You'd want to add the bundle to the blacklistedBundles tag within etc/org.apache.karaf.features.xml, you can do this by overriding this file with your own but you will need to make sure to keep the configuration that DDF expects, see [https://github.com/codice/ddf/blob/2.13.x/distribution/ddf-common/src/main/resources/etc/org.apache.karaf.features.xml]

Nice this looks like exactly what I need! Thanks!
