Serge Huber updated KARAF-4361:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
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 "custom.properties" files that could override the values of 
the config.properties settings so that we can offer integrators to modify a 
custom file without touching the default file.

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.
