Derek Baum reassigned FELIX-1383: --------------------------------- Assignee: Derek Baum > sigil.properties -defaults should support variable expansion to allow it to > be overriden > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-1383 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1383 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Sigil > Reporter: Derek Baum > Assignee: Derek Baum > Priority: Minor > > sigil.properties files support a directive: > -defaults: [-]path-to-defaults > which allows for default values (such as default package import versions) to > be inherited. > If -defaults is not specified, '-../sigil-defaults.properties' is used to > implicitly use defaults from parent. > The leading - means ignore error if the file is not found. > It would be useful if the defaults value was variable expanded against System > properties and the environment: > -defaults: ${DEFAULTS_DIR:-../common}/sigil-defaults.properties > sigil already contains the necessary property variable expansion code. > however, property variable expansion is NOT globally applied to all values in > sigil.properties, as the eclipse plugin is not aware of variable expansion, > so when it updates sigil.properties all variables would have their expanded > value. > This is not a problem with -defaults, as the eclipse plugin is not aware of > this value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
