Thanks! Unfortunately I can't get it to work.

I first tried putting it in a separate feature in the same feature
repository as the component, ie. like so:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <features xmlns="http://karaf.apache.org/xmlns/features/v1.4.0"; 
name="oldalbum.roleadder.test">
     <feature name="${karaf-feature-name}-config">
         <config 
name="no.priv.bang.oldalbum.roleadder.test.ShiroRoleAdderForOldalbumTestEnvironment">
             username=${env:USERNAME:-admin}
             password=${env:PASSWORD:-admin}
             allowModify=${env:ALLOW_MODIFY:-true}
         </config>
     </feature>
     <feature name="${karaf-feature-name}">
         <feature>${karaf-feature-name}-config</feature>
         <feature>scr</feature>
     </feature>
 </features>

But the first @Activate config method injection was still empty, except
for the component.name and the component.id.

Is the feature repository significant?

Ie. should the feature reside in a separate feature repository?

Do the feature need to be alone in that feature repository?  Or can it
share the repository with an existing feature? (i.e. can I put it into
the feature repository of an existing bundle maven project or do I have
to create a new project just for this feature?)

Thanks!
