Balazs Zsoldos commented on FELIX-4844:
---------------------------------------
I was thinking of an import-export utility and it would be a much better
solution (as developers could update their system after a git pull without
restarting it). However, that would work only if ConfigAdmin API offered a
function where new configuration could be created with pre-defined service.pid.
I do not think there is such function.
Anyway. I do not think it causes trouble for anyone if the configuration files
are more human- readable/editable. It does not have a noticable performance or
size drawback and it is still a valid properties file. So the question of this
patch: Why not?
> Store configuration data in a diff-tool friendly way

> 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 alphabetically 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?
