Description

Even though the OSGi R4.2 Configuration Admin Spec (v 1.3 of the spec) now explicitly allows properties with leading dots, the current implementation prevents them from being used.

Specification states:

The format of a property name should be:
property-name ::= public | private
public ::= symbolic-name // See 1.3.2
private ::= '.' symbolic-name
