In order to integrate self-written components we currently only have user-roles to make these components available to the component manager. But the configuration of these components still needs to be added to the cocoon.xconf. This is IMHO dead ugly and bad for upgrade and maintainace cycles. We should be able to have a separate configuration besides the configuration for the core components. We should be able to define a user.xconf. (or better user-components.xconf?)
I've looked into Avalon but didn't find anything appropriate in Framework nor Excalibur. In Cornerstone there is a CascadingConfiguration which could give us easily a working user.xconf. Although I tried a little to push it does not seem to make it into Excalibur or Framework. So here my question: instead of having a full Cornerstone jar around (because of this single class) should we adopt the code in out codebase? As much as I hate duplicate code I also like to see this functionality!
