Hi there --

I am looking to move from T4 to T5.

In T4/hivemind  configuration configuration was in xml files. This was great
because:

   1. is easily modifiable by non-Java programmers.
   2. By only allowing non-java types to change xml files, there was limited
   ways that damage could be done.
   3. Config changes did not require a rebuild/retest/redeploy cycle.
   4. non-programmer types could alter how modules were hooked together.

Moving to T5,

   1. some inner plumbing modules do make better sense to be hidden away
   from non-programmer type's fingers.
   2. For other modules, we want to allow things like directory paths and
   other text configuration to be exposed.  (properties file??)
   3. Other modules we do want to continue to leave "exposed" ala T4

Obviously, we do not want to be "fighting" T5 conventions. So what are
people's suggestions?

Is there a way to hook hivemind into T5?

Is there a standard way to read properties files and match property names to
java bean getter/setters?

Something I missed?
