Oliver Heger updated CONFIGURATION-271:
---------------------------------------

         Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 1.5)
                   1.6
         Assignee:     (was: Emmanuel Bourg)
       Issue Type: New Feature  (was: Bug)

So far all our configurations have bag semantics, i.e. a value can occur 
multiple times for a single property.

If I understand this ticket correctly, you basically want to introduce set 
semantics, i.e. the values of a single property are unique. It should be 
possible to switch between the different modes.

I think, this is a good idea and certainly makes sense for certain use cases. 
However, implementing this feature in a clean way won't be a trivial task. 
Multiple configuration base classes will be affected. Because of that we 
probably won't be able to get this into the next release. So I am setting the 
fix version to 1.6

> In addPropertyDirect(String key, Object value) the method adds the new value 
> to the property.
> If the property has the same value in the list, it will get duplicated.
> The method should check if the list contains the value and only if the result 
> is false add the value. 
> There is no logic in saving a multi value key with more than one instance of 
> a value.
