> We are using Karaf by embedding it and basically starting it like this : 
> {code}
>             // code to setup System properties
>             main = new Main(new String[0]);
>             main.launch();
> {code}
> The problem is that the ConfigProperties that are used to startup Karaf are 
> directly created in the main.launch() method, like this:
> {code}
>     public void launch() throws Exception {
>         config = new ConfigProperties();
> {code}
> Ideally it would be great if we could either have a setter to provide the 
> config value, so that we could manipulate it before launching. In an embedded 
> environment this quickly becomes a necessity. For example we would like to 
> make it possible to have retrieve properties coming from another framework 
> such as Spring and use those to override  config.properties settings in a 
> dynamic way, without needing to dump them to a file at Karaf startup. I'm 
> aware of the ${includes} and ${optionals} but those require files to be read 
> from the disk where here I'm talking about being able to dynamically 
> manipulate the properties once loaded.
> Basically something like this would be fantastic
> {code}
>             // code to setup System properties
>             main = new Main(new String[0]);
>             ConfigProperties config = main.getConfig();
>             if (config == null) {
>                config = new ConfigProperties();
>             }
>             // manipulate config in any way desired
>             main.setConfig(config)
>             main.launch();
> {code}
> The main.launch could then simply be modified to something like this : 
> {code}
>     public void launch() throws Exception {
>         if (config == null) {
>             config = new ConfigProperties();
>         }
> {code}
> Btw we are using Karaf 4.0.x so having this in both Karaf 4.1.0 and Karaf 4.0 
> would be fantastic.
