> I recently been going over few Karaf assemblies I created in past years and I realized that in many cases I had to copy entire configuration shipped by Karaf distribution in order to include a new config in bootstrap process.
> Quite often my requirements were quite small, yet I had to create two files and take care of updates of distro shipped file in order to keep assembly well behaving.
> If distro builder wants to override or extend any of properties defined in standard karaf files he needs to copy a whole file. While it is not a problem for custom properties it is a burden for jre and system (framework) properties which vary between releases.
> The proposal is to simplify patching process by introduction of:
>  * Optional {{custom.jre.properties}} file which can define "custom" packages
>  ** custom.jre-1.6
>  ** custom.jre-1.7
>  ** custom.jre-8
>  ** custom.jre-9
>  ** custom.jre-10
>  ** custom.jre-11
>  ** custom.jre-13
>  ** custom.jre-14
>  ** custom.jre-15
>  * Extension of {{config.properties}} to accept more values coming from {{{}custom.properties{}}}:
>  ** custom.org.osgi.framework.system.packages
>  ** custom.org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra
>  ** custom-capabilities
>  ** custom.org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation
> By this patching or adjusting system packages in a custom distro will require only additional file instead of replacing distribution one. The custom.properties will start playing bigger role in providing additional entries to system packages and bootdelegation.
