What I finally did is to keep the gwc layer configs totally separate, so
less stuff to be moved around for example when a resource changes workspace
etc.
So geoserver tile layer configs would be at <data
dir>/gwc-layers/<layer>.xml. Sounds good?
On a related note, in order to being able of saving the configuration from
a layer edit page tab to someplace different than the layer/resource
metadata map, some mechanism shall exist so that when hitting save both the
layer is saved to the catalog, and the contributed tab can do its own save.
The following patch just does that: <
