to.etc.util.DeveloperOptions

public class DeveloperOptions
extends Object

This is a static-only class which should be used to access options that configure a system on a developer's station. This class accesses the file .developer.properties in the home directory of the user starting the program. Properties in that file can be accessed using calls within this module. The file is read only once; retrieved values are cached for speedy performance.
