Use Configgy instead of java.util.prefs.Preferences?

[Dave Briccetti]

Vassil Dichev suggests using Robey’s Configgy:
http://talkingpuffin.org:8080/jira/browse/TPUF-76 http://github.com/robey/configgy

Any thoughts?

It might help with persisting the filter sets as well.

How would we add it to the project? Build from source and create a
jar? Find it on a maven repository somewhere?

@stevej and @jsuereth are discussing putting up scala-stats (a project
of steve's) up on scala-tools.org. Maybe @robey won't mind doing the
same?

Until then, it would be fine to build from source- doesn't seem very
big.

Mark, would you have time in the next day or two to bring Configgy in?
Add source or jars and make Maven changes, or whatever needs to be
done?
Or someone else want to help with that?

[Mark McBride]

I should be able to get to this tomorrow or Thursday.

I can’t see how to save the config file after tpuf makes changes to
the contents. May give up on this for now.
