karaf 4.4.9 - it is no longer possible to override numeric config properties via environment variables

[saaaaaaarah]

I'm trying to override a numeric config property via environment variable. I think the change in this commit breaks the previous behavior. When overwriting environment variables, numeric values were previously stored as strings in the properties map because they were specified as strings in the configuration file, and now they are parsed as integers.

Previous:
if (properties.get(key) != null && (properties.get(key) instanceof Number)) { properties.put(key, Integer.parseInt(value)); } else { properties.put(key, value); }

Now:
int intValue = Integer.parseInt(value); properties.put(key, intValue);

This causes problems when using such properties as constructor arguments for beans, because the value is now resolved to null there.

Thanks, good catch. I will fix that.
