We'll have to take a decision here in the future:
1) either we provide a configuration per component
2) or we provide a global configuration
I prefer 1) because:
- a component is encapsulated completely in a JAR
- a component shouldn't see by default configuration from other
components. It's these other components who should offer APIs to
return configuration data if required
I also like 1 better.
Yet I think from a user point of view, it seems more natural to edit a
single xwiki.cfg file than to edit a conf file inside some component's
JAR meta data. So I would still allow some global way of overriding
components configuration from a single configuration source.
