Including protected features

Your feature can include one or more other features by listing them in the Subsystem-Content header of the feature manifest file. Any feature in the same product extension as your own feature can be included; if the included feature is in a different product extension, or in the Liberty profile, it must have public or protected visibility.

The included feature must be specified by its Subsystem-SymbolicName, and have a type of "osgi.subsystem.feature"; for example:
Subsystem-Content:
  com.ibm.wsspi.appserver.webBundle-1.0; type="osgi.subsystem.feature",
  com.ibm.websphere.appserver.json-1.0; type="osgi.subsystem.feature"

For information on the Liberty profile public features, see Liberty features. The following section describes the Liberty profile protected features.
