Does anyone know how this project relates to Tamaya or Microprofile Config?

Phil,

Not at all. At least when I last looked at it, Commons Config 2 shows a
great improvement over V1, somewhat similar to e.g. the step up from Log4J
1 to Log4J2. However, its API does not seem to implement either
MicroProfile Config, JSR 382 or (a not yet existing) Jakarta EE Config. And
frankly until that fragmentation is settled either way nobody can blame
them.

It does not really compare to Tamaya directly either. What Tamaya does on
top of its own API or others (like both MP Config and JSR 382 at this
point) is comparable to Netflix Archaius. Which builds a Cloud-friendly
distributed configuration layer on top of Commons Config, but a bit more
recently also added support for e.g. Typesafe Config. So Archaius is closer
to Tamaya while Commons Config is the default underlying "low level"
framework for Archaius.

HTH,
Werner
