java.lang.Object
   |
   +----semper.preferences.ConfigStream
public class ConfigStream
extends Object
This is used by the Configuration class to write/read to/from a stream the state configuration. Should not be used outside the preferences package. The resulting stream (in case of writing) is compatible with the local file system and thus editable. A configuration file is of the form: #field_name1 value1 #field_name2 value2 etc... This is used by the Configuration class and should not be used from the outside.
