Hi, I would be willing to start maintaining again storeconfig, along with Jean-Frédéric. So after a hiatus, we would be able to bring back this functionality which allows tweaking the configuration (through JMX in particular) and then saving it to server.xml and context.xml files to make changes survive a restart. On the downside, storeconfig in Tomcat will always remain an introspection based system prone to (very rare, hopefully) failures and some unhandled special cases, a artifact of Tomcat's rather freeform configuration files.
The proposal would be to move "storeconfig7/trunk" from the sandbox to "modules/storeconfig" in the Tomcat 7 branch [a port to trunk, aka Tomcat "8", would be coming shortly, since I believe its container API would now start to be more stable]. I don't recall Tomcat 6 having modules, so I don't see where storeconfig6 would live there, and as a result I propose leaving it in the sandbox. One issue I'm wondering about is the build system. After all that time, I've starting using Maven instead of Ant (unbelievable, I know ...), and while I am fine continuing using existing Ant build systems, I find adding ones to newer components quite useless.
