Chapter 2. Deprecated and Removed Features

bin/deletefabric8 script is deprecated

The bin/deletefabric8 script is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Spring Dynamic Modules (Spring-DM) is deprecated

Spring-DM (which integrates Spring XML with the OSGi service layer) is deprecated in 6.2 and you should use the Blueprint framework instead. Using Blueprint does not prevent you from using the Spring framework: the latest version of Spring is compatible with Blueprint.

ServiceMix Maven archetypes not supported

The ServiceMix Maven archetypes (with a groupId of org.apache.servicemix.tooling) are no longer supported and are not available in 6.2. You can use the fabric8 Maven archetypes instead (which provide similar functionality). The fabric8 archetypes have a groupId of io.fabric8.archetypes and the following fabric8 archetypes are available:
karaf-camel-amq-archetype
karaf-camel-cbr-archetype
karaf-camel-cxf-code-first-archetype
karaf-camel-cxf-contract-first-archetype

karaf-camel-drools-archetype
karaf-camel-eips-archetype
karaf-camel-errorhandler-archetype
karaf-camel-log-archetype

karaf-secure-rest-archetype	
karaf-secure-soap-archetype
karaf-soap-archetype

Fuse Application Bundles

Fuse Application Bundles (FABs) are no longer supported and are not available in 6.2. Instead of using FABs, it is recommended that you repackage your code as an OSGi bundle, for deployment into the JBoss A-MQ container.
