I am doing some IDE-driven assembly work that requires reading the control client manifest files (*.controls.properties) from various places, including from the classpath.
I then need to read these files and build the control/client mappings to send to the standard Beehive assembly process. I'd like to use the ControlClientManifest class to do the simple parsing of these files, but it does not have a constructor that takes an InputStream or URL, which are my two choices when loading these files from a class loader. Anyone opposed to me adding an additional constructor to this that takes say a URL? I'd be glad to open a JIRA issue and submit a patch if there are no objections. Thanks - Jim.
