Hi Michaël,
I believe the OJ feature request that you are referring to was
submitted by Steve Tanner:
"Have JUMPConfiguration.java in XML file.
Ugo added the following comment:
Ugo Taddei: �Has anyone thought about changing the
JUMPConfiguration.java to an xml-based config? That is,
instead of hard-coding all those plug-ins at compile
time, the app would generate them a runtime. I say this
because (1) JUMPConfiguration is rather long and (2) in
a project we only had to change the order and
availability of plug-ins, and commenting them out was a
solutions. It'd have been more elegant to do that with
a text file�.
If I understand this feature request right, it is referring to
supporting something like the development-only
workbench-properties.xml file (or perhaps just it).
I think this would be a great idea and have been considering working
on it. If I could get runtime support for workbench-properties, would
that meet your requirements too?
regards,
Larry
