Configuration - Avalon integration

[Eric SCHAEFFER <ES...@Techmetrix.net>]

Hi,

Where are we on the Avalon integration ? Do we do it ? Do we use only
.properties files ? 
Can we do it now ?

Eric.

This was my understanding also, that Avalon wasn't quite there yet.

I am +1 on interim XML property files.

Might I also suggest that if the primary proponents of using Avalon with FOP 
(Eric?, Steven?) were to prepare some kind of planning paper (architectural 
level) on what the benefits and implications are, that we'd all be in a 
better position to take advantage of Avalon when it is ready.

I think we decided to wait for Avalon under the impression that the 
configuration part with it will be finished soon. Didn't somebody write 
on this list, that this will take time. IN this case maybe it would be 
better to do this for ourselves. Using property files would be an easy 
to handle interims solution. As we have already an xml parser ready, 
we could use a simple xml file format which would allow to save 
complexer information formats than the property files.
What do you think?
