FAQ: Unable to add feature

[Anonymous]

Q: When trying to install feature like
features:addurl mvn rg.talend.esb.examples.rent-a-car/features-sam/4.0/xml
got exception:
Could not add Feature Repository:
java.lang.RuntimeException: URL could not be resolved.
A: Karaf can't resolve local maven repo.
Regarding \container\etc\org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg:
# The following locations are checked for the existence of the settings.xml file
# * 1. looks for the specified url
# * 2. if not found looks for ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml
# * 3. if not found looks for ${maven.home}/conf/settings.xml
# * 4. if not found looks for ${M2_HOME}/conf/settings.xml
Check config location for karaf regarding listed criteria.

I also faced the same problem but after changing the correct version of Taled it works. For me the command was:
features:addurl mvn rg.talend.esb.examples.rent-a-car/features/5.0.1/xml

aLeXx,
seems like maven is unable to locate your local maven repository. This could happen if you never used Maven on this computer before. Did you compile the rent-a-car demo? If not please check out Chapter 5 in the Talend ESB Getting Started Guide, you'll find a complete description how to set up the demo there.
Arabinda also makes a valid point. If you are using the most recent version of Talend (which I really recommend), you need to update the version in the feature url. The updated URLs are given in the guide as well, just copy & paste them from there.
Best regards
