I have my own code at work that does resource management. From the quick
look I took at [resources] it was more flexible, so in my dream world of
infinite time to work on commons, I was going to add stuff to [resources].

Ideas include:
- Main interface supports direct access to multiple types of resource:
 - String
 - List of Strings
 - Map (ordered) of String to Strings
 - XML structure

There is an XML implementation of this already and
a DB version at www.sf.net/projects/struts

- perhaps others, such as Integer, Boolean, and any other bean

- Resource chaining
 - To allow multiple files to be merged into one (an 'extends' keyword for
resources)
 - for a large product where the product has a fixed base configuration,
and users should override the base configuration rather than change it

Anyone know where I can buy an infinite time machine....;-)
