> karaf can deploy files like config files during the installation of a feature. If the file is already present then it is not overwritten.
> I wonder if we should print a warning in this case. One use case for this is a new version of a feature that adds a new needed property
> to a config file. If the old feature was already present then the old config will be present and the user may also have done changes.
> So there might be cases where a feature works if it can install its default configs but does not work when they are already present but invalid.
> So we could write for each file that is already present:
> "Warning: file <path> to be deployed is already present and will not be changed."
> We could also provide an option in feature:install like -f that forces all files to be overwritten if someone wants to make sure the feature installation should use the defaults.
