I've been trying to create a plugin for Confluence where I use the Nutch API. The configuration class causes a lot of headaches for me. If I create one there is an assumption about the location of the hadoop-default.xml and hadoop-site.xml. This doesn't fit my setup particularly well. I was thinking about the possibility to write my own configuration implementation, but the Configuration class isn't a interface which makes this a bit more tricky.
Have anybody had problems with getting the configuration to work when running in this kind of scenario? Are there any thoughts of making the configuration a bit more flexible so possible alternative implementation can be used? Have the project considered using the commons-configuration API? This is an API where it's easier to write own implementation of the API. Best regards Trond Andersen
