Commons Configuration provides a generic configuration interface which
enables an application to read configuration data from a variety of sources:

 - Properties files
 - XML documents
 - Windows INI files
 - Property list files (.plist)
 - JNDI
 - JDBC Datasource
 - System properties
 - Applet parameters
 - Servlet parameters

Additional sources of configuration parameters can be created by using custom
configuration objects.
