external directive in Bundle-ClassPath for config resources

[estrnod]

I am looking for a way to externalize resources for optional per-installation configurations. These might include changes to the applicationContext.xml or bundle-context.xml files, locale-specific properties files, hibernate hbm.xml files and/or jasper reports. I was thinking of including the default versions in the bundles but configuring a location external to the bundle where they could be overridden. Could this be done with the external directive in Bundle-ClassPath? Since this is not a recommended approach, is there an alternate, recommended approach for doing this?

Thanks,
Ellen
