How to import other opendaylight projects in my own odl distro - pom.xml

Question

I'm trying to create my own application for Opendaylight, so for my application i will need some functions from the OpenFlowPlugin API.
After create the directories tree using the mvn generate:archtype, i've executed the mvn clean install and it worked well, but when i tried to add the new dependency of openflowplugin on the "features/" directory (both "features/pom.xml" and "features/src/main/features/features.xml") and re-execute the mvn clean install i got this error:

The complete command that i used to create my own odl distro is (i don't know if it's really matter but...):
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.opendaylight.controller -DarchetypeArtifactId=opendaylight-startup-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.3.3-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=http://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/
Can anyone explain what's wrong?

Answer 1

Notice that the error indicates namespace http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0 which is for karaf 4.x which was introduced in the Opendaylight Nitrogen. However your features xml has namespace http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.2.0 which indicates you're using Opendaylight Carbon or earlier. So that means you're pulling in a features repository from Nitrogen (eg dluxapps or openflowplugin) - in the pom make sure you specify the correct dependency versions for dluxapps, openflowplugin etc for the Opendaylight version you're using (I assume Carbon).
