Has any one written a Configurator that uses the Java 1.4 Preferences API as
a configuration source? And listens to events on the preferences and keeps
its self in sync. I am about to start writing one and just thought I should
check that it has not been started of done before.
An example of my suggested format for the configuration in the preferences
XML DTD is below:
Thanks
