Description Robert Wetzold CLA 2011-07-14 06:00:04 EDT 
Currently one needs quite a lot of boilerplate code to offer configurable extensions in a way that the extension can be configured without redeploying.

It would be much nicer and simpler to have a Hudson like mechanism: each extension defines which parameters it supports including default values (for which an admin interface can be supplied easily or even generated automatically). The extension can then simply query its current parameters through a single method call which could e.g. be implemented in the object where extensions extend from.
