> Hi,
> I have read that Commons Configuration is intended to be compatible with Java
> 1.3 but would it be possible to create a configuration backend for the
> Preferences API provided since Java 1.4?
> In my project I would like to use a very low-overhead configuration mechanism
> as is the Preferences API while still having the flexibility and power
> offered by Commons Configuration. In fact, being able to swap in a config
> file for testing purposes without changing the code would be wonderful.
> However, I do not like the idea of providing the end user with such a file or
> even a database, changing application settings should be done through the UI.
> If it is not possible to add a preferences backend to the code base due to
> the backward compatibility policy, could such a backend then possibly be
> provided in another branch or in a subproject?
> Best regards,
> Michael
