-------------------------------------
Summary: Store configuration data in a diff-tool friendly way
Key: FELIX-4844
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-4844
Project: Felix
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Configuration Admin
Reporter: Balazs Zsoldos
We store our configuration with the sources in the source-code control system
(git). It often happens that multiple developers work on the same project and
they modify the configuration parallel. It would not be a problem if the config
files were diff-tool friendly. To achieve this goal, two improvements would be
necessary:
*Store entries in ABC ordered list*
In the config files, the entries should be stored sorted by ABC. It is easy to
implement by overriding HashTable in the same way that LinkedHashMap overrides
HashMap.
*Store array values in multiple lines*
At the moment a setting with two values are stored like this:
key=["value1", "value2"]
Instead of this, I would store it in the following format (each entry on new
line):
key=[ \
"value1", \
"value2" \
]
*Question*
Do you think that if I prepare a patch for this, that would be accepted?
