[Mondrian] Re: Eigenbase perforce change 8725 for review

[Julian Hyde]

Richard,

Configuration is one of the biggest problems for mondrian. I spend hours and
hours of my time answering boring questions about configuration. It is
critical that mondrian configuration is uniform and simple.

To this end, please follow the guidelines in MondrianProperties:



Note to developers 

If you add a property, you must: 

*	Add a property definition to this class 
*	Modify the default mondrian.properties file checked into source
control, with a description of the property and its default value. 
*	Modify the Configuration Specification
<outbind://168/configuration.html#Property_list> . 

Similarly if you update or delete a property. 

Julian
