---------------------------------------------------------------
Loading ~/.brooklyn/*.properties could be problematic. I for one have multiple
project-specific .properties files and use a symlink brooklyn.properties, which
I can easily switch when I change projects (admittedly I could just move the
.properties files to another folder). Another way would be to have a specific
sections of the brooklyn.properties file (marked out using comments) which
Brooklyn would use, e.g.:
{noformat}
# My config
brooklyn.jclouds.aws-ec2.maxConcurrentMachineCreations=4
brooklyn.location.named.AWS\ West\ 1=aws-ec2:eu-west-1
#############################################################
### Auto-generated by Brooklyn - Do not edit this section ###
#############################################################
brooklyn.location.jclouds.softlayer.identity=foo
brooklyn.location.jclouds.softlayer.credential=barbarbar

> Define new locations in the web UI
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: BROOKLYN-53
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-53
> Project: Brooklyn
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0-M1
> Reporter: Richard Downer
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> Add the ability to define a location, identity and credential in the web UI.
> Consider the issues involved with permanently saving these new details.
> This would significantly improve the speed at which first-time users can get
> started with Brooklyn.
> Permanently saving the new location details is possibly problematic. Normally
> these would be saved to brooklyn.properties; however this file is intended
> for human editing, and machine-editing it may cause problems. A possible
> alternative is to write each location into its own file, and modify Brooklyn
> to automatically load ~/.brooklyn/*.properties. Consider these issues and
> open up further JIRA issues if appropriate.
