I prefer having the beefier properties file vs minimal pointing to a detailed doc. I liken our properties file to httpd.conf where I would be lost if they didn't have all of the directives in there commented out and well-described. I also suspect this will lead new folks to making changes to webapp\default-forrest.properties because that's where they happen to see the keys they want to change. At least those of us who follow the LBPA (learn by poking around) method. --tim
