Use Json configuration for commands

[javax-swing]

Json could be used to configure commands and aliases (now that json is used for the main app configuration).

This is only a suggestion, however it would be good to have this easily configurable without having to rebuild.

Something like.
{"Class1",["alias1","alias2

[javax-swing]

Damn didnt finish:
{"Class1",["alias1","alias2"]}

To create a map of class name to alias. Then the commands could be instantiated reflectively.

If reflection is frowned upon perhaps some type of enumerated factory?

reflection is fine, in fact, it's how the whole command processor works (reflecting the annotations to get the commands and paramters). I've got a branch which includes rudimentary support for loading modules by classname using a similar syntax :).

Awesome that sounds good to me.

I think my initial syntax sucks a bit, perhaps instead having a list of
CommandProcessorLoader.

This could have String clazz; Object [] params; String[] aliases;

This could mean that if a processor had params you could have mutliple
instances with different parameters? Such as the markov chain command etc.

What do you think?

There is some basic configuration support now for aliases (register a module twice with the same name) and the ability to define regular expression rewrite rules (similar to apache's mod-rewrite).
