Yes, a more explicit override mechanism would be a good idea as the Bundle Search Order mechanism seems to have some weaknesses. (This is all assuming I'm understanding it correctly.)
How would I override properties that are in an class-level properties file since this seems to be the most specific location? The only way I can imagine would be to provide my own version of of class-level properties with the same name and ensure it is earlier on the Classpath. In this case it seems I would have to provide a "full replacement" with all properties not just the properties I'm interested in overriding (if it finds my class-level properties file will it look for others with the same name or just move up the chain?). Here is different situation that also seems weak; if i want to override a property that is in a package-level properties file I could provide a class-level properties file but if the properties are used by more then one action class I would need to provide multiple class-level properties files, one for each class that uses the property. I think a better mechanism would be a facility to configure a "look here first" properties file and if not found then continue up the Bundle Search Order. Essentially allow the developer to insert a bundle into the front of the search order.
