> When an OSGi configuration has a metatype information for a property which is not a string, the value provided throught the console is converted to that type, before setting the configuration property [1]
> If the conversion fails, the value is ignored [2]
> For example, if the metatype specifies the type to be Integer (like for a port number etc) and a placeholder is used as the value using the interpolation plugin (like $[env:HTTP_PORT]) then this string value is never set. It would be better to allow such values and not silently ignore them
