Karaf doesn't start

Question

I'm learning Karaf, following this tutorial: https://github.com/cschneider/Karaf-Tutorial/tree/master/tasklist

I build it as requested. Then I attempt to start karaf like this:

./bin/karaf from where I exported binaries. In response I get: Could not resolve mvn:org.apache.felix/org.apache.felix.framework/5.6.10

What am I doing wrong?

Here's the content of log:

Mar 03, 2018 3:56:01 PM org.apache.karaf.main.Main main SEVERE: Could not launch framework java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not resolve mvn:org.apache.felix/org.apache.felix.framework/5.6.10 at org.apache.karaf.main.util.SimpleMavenResolver.resolve(SimpleMavenResolver.java:59) at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.createClassLoader(Main.java:466) at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.launch(Main.java:253) at org.apache.karaf.main.Main.main(Main.java:178)

Answer 1

It's a kind of black magic.

You have to use -z option while unpacking karaf tar package, like "tar -xvzf ......."
