Well, you either get...
..."commons-attributes-storage", which is easily accessible from
Java, but requires some extra tools to access from outside
Java.
...XML-storage, which is easily accessible from outside
Java, but requires some extra tools (XML parser etc.) to
access from Java.
What is most important to you is of course the factor that decides.
The goals for C-A made the design of it what it is.
It is absolutely not impossible to access the metainfo from
non-Java applications. It can be exported to XML, CSV or
whatever format. It's just heavily biased toward easy access from
Java as an extension to the reflective API.
