Description

When building a custom distribution, adding file src/main/karaf/assembly-property-edits.xml with:

    <edit>
        <file>org.ops4j.pax.web.cfg</file>
        <operation>put</operation>
        <key>org.osgi.service.http.port</key>
        <value>8182</value>
    </edit>

The result is:

    #Modified by org.apache.karaf.tools.utils.KarafPropertiesFile
    #Thu Jun 07 15:39:28 EDT 2018
    org.osgi.service.http.port=8182

The issue is that it erased all other properties. Normally, this file has the following:

    org.osgi.service.http.port=8181
    javax.servlet.context.tempdir=${karaf.data}/pax-web-jsp
    org.ops4j.pax.web.config.file=${karaf.etc}/jetty.xml

It seems to work fine with previous Karaf 4.1.x plugin version.
