ron updated CONFIGURATION-395:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently the expression engine can be set but not the interpolation.
This patch proposes the ability to set a user specified interpolation engine.
It includes a groovy interpolation engine. Groovy comes naturally as an
expressions and interpolation language in the java environment
API usage:
AbstractConfiguration c = new
PropertiesConfiguration("conf/test.conf");
c.setInterpolator(new GInterpolator(c));
System.out.println(c.getString("test"));
Configuration examples:
library.path.1=${ if
("${System.getProperty{('os.name')}".toLowerCase().startsWith("windows"))
"libw.dll"; else "libl" }
password=${println 'enter password'; readln}
I think that this is more feature rich than JEXL and is easier to use for java
programmers.

PS: I have added some more features:
I have extended this to enable caching and add custom imports.
thus in the example below query(..) will be executed only once.
custom imports can be predefined, so that they do not have to be included in
the configuration.
API:
AbstractConfiguration c = new PropertiesConfiguration("conf/test.conf");
c.setInterpolator(new GInterpolator(c, true, new String[]{"util.Utils"}));
System.out.println(c.getString("password"));
System.out.println(c.getString("password"));
configuration example:
password=${Utils.query('enter password')}
