title: karaf 3.0.1 not starting up
body: <p>I'm trying to start karaf 3.0.1 in a solaris box (without internet) but getting the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>karaf: Ignoring predefined value for KARAF_HOME
    Could not resolve mvn:org.eclipse/org.eclipse.osgi/3.8.2.v20130124-134944</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and in karaf.log:</p>
  
  <blockquote>

  <p>the bundles are well in place (system folder) and the org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg file states:</p>

  <p>I've tried running the framework using the three methods (server, service, client) but nothing seems to be working.</p>
  
  <p>my environment is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>KARAF_BASE=/export/home/mehdi/bin/karaf</p>
    
    <p>KARAF_HOME=/export/home/mehdi/bin/karaf</p>
    
    <p>KARAF_ETC=/export/home/mehdi/bin/karaf/etc</p>
    
    <p>KARAF_DATA=/export/home/mehdi/bin/karaf/data</p>
    
    <p>JAVA_HOME=/opt/temp/jre1.7.0_13</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I googled a bit and found a workaround which says to add -h 127.0.0.1 to the client script, but still nothing.</p>
