So the only issue is whether we make the default value part of the management api on the ManagedProperty so that its both documented what the defaults are, and there is consistent behavior between a primitive with an initializer (int x = 1) and @ManagmentProperty(defaultValue="1"). I don't see I'll have that working by tomorrow, so we'll have to talk about if this is worthwhile pursuing for CR1 vs other issues tomorrow. | So it looks like we really dont even have to worry about b) because the config validation in the console will prevent this situation from happening, i.e. we wont let the user specify a null value for ints or Integers. So overall the most important thing is to have property.setRemoved() cause nothing to be persisted for the managed property, and that a default (if specified somewhere) is applied to the actual running instance. [This could just be letting the component itself choose the default, I don't think it has to come from the ManagedProperty annotation for CR1, though it would make sense in the future.] This is what I see as the core issue that needs resolving for CR1. If we don't have this function for managedproperty's which are primitives then that's not great, but I don't necessarily see it as a blocker since there probably not that many such properties.
