Dang, its quite aged PR, indeed it deserves a push.
> Simplification of customizations for jre and framework properties

> Key: KARAF-7325
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-7325
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: karaf
> Affects Versions: 4.2.14
> Reporter: Łukasz Dywicki
> Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
> Priority: Major
>
> [follow up issue promised in
> https://lists.apache.org/thread/bdp1j909wz7cx593bmjxobg3k79sozzg]
> I recently been going over few Karaf assemblies I created in past years and I
> realized that in many cases I had to copy entire configuration shipped by
> Karaf distribution in order to include a new config in bootstrap process.
> Quite often my requirements were quite small, yet I had to create two files
> and take care of updates of distro shipped file in order to keep assembly
> well behaving.
> If distro builder wants to override or extend any of properties defined in
> standard karaf files he needs to copy a whole file. While it is not a problem
> for custom properties it is a burden for jre and system (framework)
> properties which vary between releases.
> The proposal is to simplify patching process by introduction of:
> * Optional {{custom.jre.properties}} file which can define "custom" packages
> ** custom.jre-1.6
> ** custom.jre-1.7
> ** custom.jre-8
> ** custom.jre-9
> ** custom.jre-10
> ** custom.jre-11
> ** custom.jre-13
> ** custom.jre-14
> ** custom.jre-15
> * Extension of {{config.properties}} to accept more values coming from
> {{{}custom.properties{}}}:
> ** custom.org.osgi.framework.system.packages
> ** custom.org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra
> ** custom-capabilities
> ** custom.org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation
> By this patching or adjusting system packages in a custom distro will require
> only additional file instead of replacing distribution one. The
> custom.properties will start playing bigger role in providing additional
> entries to system packages and bootdelegation.
