Yes, for values that don't have default in the code, I think we should move the in the code. Actually that's: UC5: Make XWiki work without configuration files. Solution for UC5: * Put default values in the code so that XWiki works if there's no xwiki.cfg, xwiki.properties or hibernate.cfg.xml files. We would default to HSQLDB by default. WDYT?
