So, will the DS stuff work according to
112.7 if there *is* a
Configuration Admin service installed?

Simon, John,
Currently there are no plans to
contribute a Configuration Admin implementation to Equinox. The direction
Eclipse is taking is to use the Eclipse Preferences to store configuration
data. The Eclipse Preferences API is much simpler to use then
Configuration Admin. It is also easier to manage and more widely used.
The
OSGi Preferences Service can also be used to store configuration data (the
implementation in Equinox simply wrappers the Eclipse Preferences). Although,
it is important to note that the OSGi Preferences Service does not have any
notifications when a value has changed. The Eclipse Preferences, however,
does provide these notifications.

Using the Configuration Admin Service?

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.

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.
