I came across the configuration project today. I have written my own
open source library that includes a configuration framework that is
fairly similar to the new 1.4 prefs package. (I wrote it before the 1.4
package was released, or at least before I knew about the new package).
Since I wrote it without before looking at the prefs package, they are
more similar in concept than in actual API.
My entire library is available at
http://ericdaugherty.com/java/daughertylib/index.html.
I would be happy to contribute any and all of the code in this library
to the configuration package. Also, I would be willing assist in the
development and/or maintenance of the package, if there is interest.
