I tried to create an osgi bundle using apache karaf using maven archetype as mentioned in the karaf devlopers guide .
mvn archetype:generate \-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.karaf.archetypes \-DarchetypeArtifactId=karaf-bundle-archetype \-DarchetypeVersion=4.0.0 \-DgroupId=com.mycompany \-DartifactId=TestBundle \-Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT \-Dpackage=com.mycompany.newpkg
so i have a directory created TestBundle and then i did "mvn install" here . So the bundle (jar file) is created in the target folder . when i copy this folder on deploy , i see that it is installed , but on restarting i see this issue below
karaf@victoria>bundle:list | grep Test
396 | Installed | 80 | 1.0.0.SNAPSHOT | TestBundle Bundle
karaf@victoria>bundle:info 396
TestBundle Bundle (396)
-----------------------
karaf@victoria>bundle:restart 396
Error executing command: Error restarting bundles:

The manifest says the bundle was compiled against (and expects at runtime) an OSGi Core R6 Framework (framework version 1.8). Does the version of Karaf you are using support OSGi Core R6?
