What does this new config system mean for the forrest.properties file ?
We don't know exactly what will happen, it's been mentioned a number of
times and was discussed at ApacheCon. We haven't designed the solution
yet. See the issue I linked to for what little info there is at this stage.
One thing you can be fairly sure of is that forrest.properties will
disappear. You will see the discussion when everyone is back from
ApacheCon, so you will have plenty of chance to contribute.
I am supposed to be building an editor or forrest.properties but myabe
Is hould be building a Forrest configuration editor instead ?
Good point. It will, most likely, be driven by an XML schema, so
hopefully it will be pretty easy to create an editor for it. However,
you needn't worry about it at this stage. Obviously you can't write an
editor for something still being designed. So spend the time allocated
for that on helping us get the design right.
