title: How to reference a common properties file from within an osgi bundle properties file?
body: <p>At the moment, I have a number of features/bundles that refer to a self named properties file. I want to create a number of common properties files, that are included in the individual bundle properties file.</p>
  
  <p>I know that this doesn't work in core Java, but I'm sure I have read somewhere that you can include properties files in Karaf/OSGi/Blueprint, but now I want to do it, I can't find any reference on any of the sites I've been searching for.</p>
  
  <p>What I can't find anywhere is the syntax for how to do it. Can anyone confirm <em>if</em> this is possible, and if so, what the syntax is to do this? Any pointers to suitable documentation would also be welcome.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
