  Description     : An implementation of the OSGi Componendium Configuration
Admin Service

The OSGi Componendium Configuration Admin Service specifies a service, which
allows for easy management of configuration data for configurable components.
Basicaly configuration is a list of name-value pairs. Configuration is managed
by management applications by asking the Configuration Admin Service for such
configuration. After updating the configuration, it is sent back to the
Configuration Admin Service. The Configuration Admin Service is like a central
hub, which cares for persisting this configuration and also for distributing
the configuration to interested parties. One class of such parties are the
components to be configured. These are registered as ManagedService services.
There is also a notion of ManagedServiceFactory, which allows for multiple
configurations of the same kind to be applied.

This Java library is a requirement for a debian package for apache karaf. See
