[jira] Created: (FELIX-2649) Support for configuration printers without requiring them to implement the interface

Support for configuration printers without requiring them to implement the interface
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-2649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2649
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Web Console
    Affects Versions: webconsole-3.1.2
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: webconsole-3.1.4


Currently if one wants to develop a configuration printer, the developed component has to import/implement the configuration printer interface. This ties the bundle to the web console bundle - which makes it more complicated to implement such extensions than it should be.
For plugins we already have the dynamic registration without requiring to implement a web console specific interface by searching for servlet services with specific properties.

We could implement something similar for configuration printers:
We search for all services having at least these properties:
- felix.webconsole.label
- felix.webconsole.title
- felix.webconsole.configprinter.modes

If any service has these three properties *and* has a method printConfiguration(PrintWriter) or printConfiguration(PrintWriter, String (=mode)), this service is added as a configuration printer. This method is searched by reflection.
