Proposal for Configuration Package

(0) Rationale

There is currently no configuration package that can work with multiple sources of data, and provide configuration capabilities for multiple applications. This package provides a simple to use api for performing configuration.

(1) Scope of the Package

This proposal is to create a package of Java utility classes to read simplify configuring a java application.

(1.5) Interaction With Other Packages

Configuration relies on many other commons packages. It will utilize the JUnit unit testing framework for developing and executing unit tests, but this is of interest only to developers of the component.

(2) Initial Source of the Package

This code originated in JServ, was brought into Turbine, moved to Velocity and improved, and then moved into the Commons as Configurations sub-project.

The proposed package name for the new component is org.apache.commons.configuration.

(3) Required Jakarta-Commons Resources

CVS Repository - New directory configuration in the jakarta-commons CVS repository.
Mailing List - Discussions will take place on the general commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org mailing list. To help list subscribers identify messages of interest, it is suggested that the message subject of messages about this component be prefixed with [Configuration].
Bugzilla - New component "Configuration" under the "Commons" product category, with appropriate version identifiers as needed.
Jyve FAQ - New category "commons-configuration" (when available).

(4) Initial Committers

The initial committers on the Configuration component shall be as follows:

Eric Pugh (epugh)
Henning P. Schmiedehausen (henning)
