Tooling support. Using an external properties file would require tools that are already compatible with Wildfly to make adaptations to support Hawkular.

I'm not sure which one is better, though: to allow admins to change Hawkular properties via tools they use for managing Wildfly (via CLI? Admin console?), or to externalize it all in a "hawkular.properties" file, which can also be easily managed via ansible/puppet/chef.

IMO going to Wildfly management tools to configure Hawkular is IMO not a great experience.

IMO for Hawkular users, Wildfly is an internal detail and its complexity should be relatively hidden.
