Sakai Config Viewer / Config Editor

Introduction

The Sakai Config Viewer is a tool to help administrators make sense of the configuration options that can be set in sakai.properties. It displays a list of available properties along with a host of value added data. The list of properties is based on a careful review of the source code and existing documentation for 2.2.x and higher, and is typically updated immediately after each new release.

The Config Editor is a new tool that allows real-time modification of selected properties. The Configuration Editor will most likely eventually replace the Config Viewer.

Credits

Both the Config Viewer and the Config Editor were written by @Former user (Deleted), with much advice from @Former user (Deleted) and @Former user (Deleted). Thanks to both of them for their patience and humor.

The initial structure of both projects was generated by Sakai App Builder plugin for Eclipse, which was written by @Former user (Deleted) (azeckoski@gmail.com).
Thanks to him for lowering the bar to new developers. For more information about the App Builder Plugin for Eclipse, visit the following page:

This tool uses RSF, thanks to @Former user (Deleted) for helping simplify that part of the equation. For more information about RSF, including helpful and active forums, visit the following the following page:

Notes

The properties referenced by both tools are complete as of Sakai 2.5.x (think otherwise? let me know). The tools do not reflect legacy options from prior to Sakai 2.2.X.
