Class SettingsMorph

java.lang.Object

gaiasky.util.SettingsMorph

public class SettingsMorph
extends Object

This class converts settings from the old Java properties file to the new YAML-based configuration. This should happen whenever Gaia Sky detects that there exists a global.properties file in the configuration folder, but no config.yaml is found. In such a case, the way to proceed is to load the global.properties file into memory, create and fill up a Settings instance manually and save it in to the config.yaml file in the configuration folder.
