Thanks for that explanation! I thought that you meant "Maven profiles". But there are "Karaf profiles" as well ;-) I will definitely have a look at that! On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 8:06 PM, Guillaume Nodet wrote: > > Basically, a profile is a list of files. Files with a cfg

Basically, a profile is a list of files. Files with a cfg extension are handled in a specific way. They are overlayed, as profiles can have a list of parents to inherit from. The profile.cfg is special and contains some profile attributes, such as the list of parents and a list of features or

Ok, sorry. Do you have a suggestion how to edit properties files in a different way? On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 5:43 PM, Guillaume Nodet wrote: > I wasn't suggesting to use profiles with property-edits, but rather to use > profiles instead of property-edits. > > 2016-10-12

Hi Jens, I run into that "property file edit single location" problem myself from time to time. I planed to create a patch for that but haven't found any time for this, yet. Best regards, Markus

Hi Markus, great to see you! Sorry for the late reply. That works quite well for features. However I am looking for a way to do the same for the property edits. The documentation around that says: --- property-file-edits specifies the location of an XML file that specifies edits to 'etc' files
