We include the full roller.properties file in the installation guide, so you can point your users there. > One way that roller can support extension developers is buy allowing the > plugin developer to put a plugin.properties file in their distributed .jar > file and have roller read it and add any page models defined in the > plugin.jar to the page models that are part of roller?

As far as I am concerned, Roller 4.0 is in bug-fix only mode right now. And currently, there are no proposals for doing such work in 4.1. Want to start a proposal?
