This is exactly the sort of usage of the ResouceLoader that I complained about earlier. Let me elaborate. Over the past years I have helped a significant number of java developers to get started with MMBase. One thing I noticed is that understanding the configuration is made a lot easier by the fact that all configuration files reside in one location, i.e. WEB-INF/config. If we introduce a set of default config files in an entirely different location (i.e. in the classpath), the opposite will be achieved, making it hard to understand the configuration. Perhaps all this isn't a problem to the commiters on this mailinglist. But for most developers it will be very confusing.
