And one of the awesome side effects of Ralph's config system is that it also makes it easy to expose different ways to specify a configuration outside of log4j-core. For instance, one of the OSGi features I'll be adding down the road are various ways to configure log4j using standard OSGi configuration services like managed services and preferences (which is rather similar to java.util.prefs honestly). I haven't looked at the JMX code yet, but it works using a similar concept, right?
