Description

Currently, the location of the Karaf etc folder is "forced": $KARAF_BASE/etc.

If an user wants to use a custom etc folder (let say /etc/karaf on Unix system), he has to use a symbolic link.
It's not easy, and more over, it can be an issue for rpm/deb packaging.

Using rpm/deb packages, it would be great to have:

• KARAF_HOME in /opt/karaf or /var/lib/karaf
• KARAF_BASE in /var/lib/karaf
• KARAF_DATA in /var/cache/karaf
• KARAF_ETC in /etc/karaf
