Since I've exhausted every option except for Amara, I've decided to give it a try. However, this will only work if I can compile Amara and 4suite along with my application. I doubt 4suite will be able to be compiled, but I'll try it anyway.
If I weren't set on using XML (I know, not every application requires it and it's abused), I would probably go with a simpler format like an INI file or YAML. The requirement that leads me to use XML for a simple config file is that the rest of this project already utilizes XML and another developer must integrate his NetBeans GUI with my app and config file. Not to mention that this must be across Linux and Windows platforms. To make this easier on everyone else, I'm using a simple XML schema that I know everyone can write to. As far as I know, YAML isn't easily written to from a Java class and an INI file isn't very popular on the Linux side. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
