I’ve been waiting for the
Configuration Admin bundle from Equinox for a while now. I wish it were here.
What is the status of it?
In particular, I need the interaction between
the ConfiguraitonAdmin service and the DeclarativeServices service. So I hope
it is well integrated when it happens.
In the short run, you can actually use the
Configuration Admin service available from www.knopflerfish.org
I have tested it (shortly) inside the
Equinox framework and it seems to work ok. However, I have not done any
exhaustive testing.

Subject: [equinox-dev] Using the
Configuration Admin Service?
Hi
all,
I've
been doing some investigation in to how Eclipse and its various components get
configured.
From
what I've seen, this is done primarily through System properties and I'm
looking at alternatives for a variety of reasons. (see bug 105851, but I can
definitely add other concerns)
OSGi
gives us the Configuration Admin Service and I'm wondering if using it might be
a better approach for non-system bundle configuration information.
By
this I guess I'm proposing that the Config Admin Service be integrated at a
fairly low level in Eclipse and then used for all plugins/bundles that need
configuration instead of System properties.
Once
the Configuration Admin service is available I'm happy to do the work, but
before I get started I'm curious as to whether people think this approach is
reasonable.
