Java package for the reading of configuration/preferences files

Commons Configuration provides a generic configuration interface which enables an application to read configuration data from a variety of sources. Commons Configuration provides typed access to single, and multi-valued configuration parameters. Configuration parameters may be loaded from the following sources: * Properties files * XML documents * Windows INI files * Property list files (plist) * JNDI * JDBC Datasource * System properties * Applet parameters * Servlet parameters Different configuration sources can be mixed using a ConfigurationFactory and CompositeConfiguration. Additional sources of configuration parameters can be created by using custom configuration objects. This customization can be achieved by extending AbstractConfiguration.
