Issue #18 has been updated by Jonathan Clarke.
Just came across a library that aims to solve the configuration file problem... It uses a simple language that allows to: * Have simple key/value pairs * Group key/value pairs by section, and sub-section * Reuse previously defined values (#120) * Include one config file in another * Have one section "extend" another section, just changing some values I like the look of it! Some drawbacks: * It is written in Scala. However, it can apparently be used from Java (OK, why not) * It also includes a logging API, but we can ignore this I think. See http://www.lag.net/configgy/README.html. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18: Change the configuration format to something more adaptable http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/18 Author: Jonathan Clarke Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Core Target version: Sometime in the future XML?
