Can not configure snapshot repository for 'KarafDistributionBaseConfigurationOption' [PAXEXAM-590]

Christoph Emmersberger created PAXEXAM-590

I've been trying to configure a custom snapshot repository within my karaf distribution configuration options.
It turned out, that it is not possible to configure the repository option via the following command:

commonOptions()

public Option[] commonOptions() {
  return new Option[]{
    karafDistributionConfiguration()
    ...,
    repository("http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group").allowSnapshots().disableReleases().id("apache")
  }
}

It had no effect at all during the test execution and I was not able to pull any snapshot artefact from the Apache snapshot repository. To get this working, I had to overwrite the org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg via the following command:

commonOptions()

editConfigurationFilePut("etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg",
  "org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories",
  "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2@id=central, "
  + ...          
  + "http://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots-group@snapshots@noreleases@id=apache")

Since I do not think, that this is working as intended, I would like to open a bug to track this issue. If anyone knows, how to resolve this, please let me know.

Kind regards,

Christoph
