I think both approaches have their disadvantages. Using a map requires casting
to Strings (we currently have to stick with 1.4, I think) and Properties class
exposes methods like store and load which are useless (or even dangerous).
I propose we change the RepositoryService interface and use the two descriptor
methods defined in javax.jcr.Repository: getDescriptorKeys() and
getDescriptor(). The implementation then can use whatever collection it prefers.

Well,
I really think that's a bad idea. Please reconsider it (keep in mind
that JDK 1.5 will provide typing anyway...). The current design makes it
really hard to re-use an existing instance (what if somebody writes to it?)
Best regards, Julian
