I completely agree with you. I have two more ideas: 1) create NutchConf as interface (not class) 2) make it work as plugin 1) If NutchConf is an interface, the NutchConf implementation can be written with a hashmap in mind (like now) or with JMX or commons-configuration. 2) There are only 4 required configuration options (plugin.excludes, plugin.includes, plugin.folders, plugin.auto-activation) the plugin registry needs to start up. If these options are provided by a bootstrap configuration, configuration plugins will be possible. If help is needed, i would like to implement a JMX implementation of NutchConf (since i will need it myself;). Regards, Thomas
