[windup-dev] Features for Discussion

I'd like to have the following features, but wanted to get everyone's feedback. 1) The ability to read in effort from the XML files. User Story: User runs Windup report and doesn't agree with the effort estimate. They would like to change the effort for a Java rule and rerun Windup, but aren't technical enough to recompile Windup. Proposed Solution: Having a utility that we could use to easily look up a property from the Windup XML configuration would be a great solution for this. That way, it makes it easy for people to modify the effort. 2) The ability to override and disable rules from the XML. User Story: A Java rule is not providing anticipated output and needs to be excluded from the report. Proposed Solution: Have a simple registry of disabled rules in the XML, where the qualified Java class is provided that needs to be disabled / skipped.
