Abstract
Profiles contain a list of Apache Karaf features that are deployed into the container. Using the Features tab, you can add and remove features from the profile's list.
Overview
A convenient way to deploy a number of related artifacts to a container is using the Apache Karaf feature mechanism. This mechanism allows you to define a feature that consists of a number of bundles and other artifacts that can be provisioned from a known location and deployed into the container.
Fuse Fabric supports deploying Apache Karaf features into containers. Using the Features tab you can get a list of Apache Karaf features available in the feature repositories configured on the Repositories tab and add them to the profile.
