Description

Fileinstall tries to only write back (to the configuration file) properties that have been changed. This fails if the value uses a property that is defined as a framework property (accessible via BundleContext.getProperty). In theory file install does support this but when handling configuration changes, the framework properties are not taken into account.

E g this is the case when using Karaf and defining properties in config.properties.
