[equinox-dev] Using the Configuration Admin Service?

[Jim Robbins <robbinsj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are shortcomings in both OSGi
Config Admin and OSGi preferences specifications that have pushed us to
use Eclipse preferences as the primary location for preference and configuration
information.  I'd like to see these addressed in the next rev of the
OSGI spec and would like to see the direction to be much more preferences
oriented and not ConfigAdmin.   

We've not been able to use ConfigAdmin
effectively due to the complexity required by the application developers
to use it.   Preferences are a much simpler, easier to use system.
