I'm -0 on this. I really see the value on providing ready to run app schema configurations, but if property datastore is such a need for them it can be a dependency on app-schema-test or something. It's not like the properties datastore is to be really used by the masses but if it's there by default people will start asking for support on an unsupported module (err, sorry, I see it's under gt/plugin now, but still... I didn't know it earned enough stars as to be there? it doesn't even show up on the module matrix: <http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Plugin>). PropertiesDataStore is memory bound and born only as an example of how to write a DataStore for a custom format. It won't work on a number of situations, first example comming to mind being any string value with a "|" (pipe) character. Moreover, the app-schema examples can as well be shipped with shapefiles instead of properties files, though .properties are more suited to hand edition for the sake of writing test cases, of course. So I agree it needs to be documented, but since I guess Mike is talking about the user's docs I wonder if it's really in a shape as to be included at all?
