You can make your own Map<String, TemplateBuilderSpec> with your > favorite choices, perhaps locking in templates by id so you don't have to > maintain the brittle java install scripts. > Ex. > templates.get("oneiric-java-ec2"); > Regardless of how this is used, the important part is that the constant > complaints of automatic selection can now be over, as we can provide a > properties syntax to afford users a means to supply their preferences > declaratively." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
