On a somewhat relevant side note: we have already established (in some mailing list discussions) an objective to move many of the configuration values in properties files in to the database. These would be business related, ie non-technical settings (ie no database settings or JMS server settings or cache, debug, etc settings).
Part of the reason for this is we want to eventually have some data files for different industries where you can just grab OFBiz, load the data files for the variation you want, and boom you're ready to go.
