Relating to a previous question, how let OSGi to reuse your configuration via Config Admin, I am still trying to solve this problem in the Equinox Framework.

Equinox Config Admin (org.eclipse.equinox.cm) stores the configuration data in the persistent storage area provided by the Framework. And that happens to be the "local bundle cache" directory by default for Equinox.
So i read up on this topic and found that there are several runtime options for Equinox (among other things osgi.configuration.area).
What I want is to change the configuration, in order that the local bundle cache won't be droped or cleaned, so the next time I'll run the Framework, the last entered configuration (for any bundle) will be used.
There is also the osgi.clean property. If you set this to true, the OSGi container must delete the existing bundle cache (and all related data) on startup and reload the bundles into the runtime cache. If you set this to false then your bundle cache should survive a restart.
This is documented in the Eclipse SDK Equinox Runtime Options.
