1. I think KernelParameters should go into a seperate package that other packages (such as kernel) depend on. This will make it easier when creating the bootstrap process.
Just to clarify I don't think you Leo disagreed with the package that the config class was placed into right?
actually I think Steve wants it in a seperate package and I don't:
disagree! Recognize the tight coupling between config and component and reflect it :D
Now keep in mind having to have an XML parser makes the size of the jar huge and we want to minimize the footprint. Also the repo is not operational yet so we can't snarf it down. I like the idea of XML but I'm afraid we have as situation where we are feature poor while bootstraping the repo and should stick to the use of properties files while handling (a).
hmm. How many people still do not have an xml parser on their classpath? Its difficult to do any avalon development without an xml parser; its just about the only dependency in Avalon-Framework.
I have no problem with making xml support a requirement :D
cheers!
