java.util.prefs Configuration
-----------------------------
Key: COLLECTIONS-254
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-254
Project: Commons Collections
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Michael Rudolf
Priority: Minor
Hi,
I have read that Commons Configuration is intended to be compatible with Java
1.3 but would it be possible to create a configuration backend for the
Preferences API provided since Java 1.4?
In my project I would like to use a very low-overhead configuration mechanism
as is the Preferences API while still having the flexibility and power offered
by Commons Configuration. In fact, being able to swap in a config file for
testing purposes without changing the code would be wonderful. However, I do
not like the idea of providing the end user with such a file or even a
database, changing application settings should be done through the UI.
If it is not possible to add a preferences backend to the code base due to the
backward compatibility policy, could such a backend then possibly be provided
in another branch or in a subproject?
Best regards,
Michael
