There appears to be a bug in org.apache.felix.utils.properties.TypedProperties to do with storing Lists. Or at least, it's behaving unexpectedly. Arrays are fine, it only applies to lists. When writing a List out, it uses (). However in org.apache.felix.utils.properties.Properties.PropertiesReader there is logic to detect whether the value is "typed" or not. The regular expression *doesn't* allow for a value surrounded by (). So when reading the same file back in it doesn't think it's typed, so doesn't convert any of the values and leaves them all as strings. The effect is that if you save properties, and one of them is a list, on reading them back in, they are all returned as strings, complete with quotation marks, type characters etc.
This seems like a bug to me? I'm not very good with regex, but a simple modification to the regex in PropertiesReader.nextProperty would seem to solve it?
