Description

This addition follows KARAF-4829. In order to get synchronous configuration file, the <config> tag should be used instead of <configfile>.

At present time <config> does not allow to use external files as <configfile> does. Using several external files might be more handy (and short) than inlining the configuration in the <config> tag.

I would be a real nice addition to add a location attribute to <config>, for instance:
<config name="whatever" location="mvn:some.groupid/1.0.0/cfg"/>

Thank you!
