I was having a discussion with Boon Ping recently regarding optional  
properties.

The problem is this:

I want to have default properties for a bundle sitting in a  
properties file that is committed to the svn repository (as is done  
presently).

In addition, I want each user/developer to have the possibility of  
using an optional properties file if they want to change any of the  
default values. Such optional properties file would only be saved  
locally on that developer's machine so it would not "interfere" with  
anybody else.

Upon startup, pax-ConfigAdmin would first check for the existence of  
such optional file. If it exists, these would override the props of  
the default file. Otherwise, it would use the props in the default  
file (if any).


I think this is a reasonable use case, but Boon Ping does not.


wdyat... could something like this be a candidate for pax-ConfigAdmin?

If so, can we go ahead and make this change?


Cheers,
Dave
