[opencms-dev] Alpha 1 - Alternate location to define resource types.

I am using a module to store a few custom resource types. (Actually
got that part to work, thanks Alexander!)

I see that I can add these types to opencms-vfs.xml and
opencms-workplace.xml in order to have the Back Office make use of
these new types.

Is there a way to add these definitions to a file that is included in
the module to be delivered so that we do not have to directly modify
opencms configurations.

As I see it now, I will have to publish a module that contains the
classes for these new resource types, then I will have to edit
opencms-*.xml, then restart tomcat for OpenCMS to recognize my new
resource types.

I guess I'm looking for a way to have that configuration included in
the module itself, making as few mods to the OpenCMS installation as
possible.

Thanks for the help. Once I get a bunch of these module issues figured
out I am aplnning to write up a howto or tutorial and post it
somewhere generally useful to the community.

Thanks again,
Frank
