Metacat

Modified the configuration classes to allow configuration through the web interface of all of the properties set in the metacat.properties file. The layout of this form still needs work, in particular because java.util.Properties does not maintain any order for the properties, nor does it allow for metadata about each property to be set and saved in the file. We can probably overcome this by creating a shadow file that lists all of the options and their metadata (such as grouping, controlled values, etc).

Renamed method.

Began work on a web interface for configuring metacat at runtime. This system
checks the 'configured' property when metacat starts up. If configured=false, then
it loads an HTML form containing the properties that need to be set. The user configures the properties and they are written into the metacat.properties file. Then metacat needs to be restarted. ...

Eliminated the 'release' ant tag from the rest of the files. The 'release' property is still used in build.xml for creating releases, but the filter is no longer presnt. Now, when updating the metacat files for a release, you have to set the release version in both the build.xml and the metacat.properties files.

Eliminated unneeded log information in source code file.

Eliminated the MetacatUtil.printMessage() method in favor of using the Log4J debugging methods.

Removed the release ant token from all files in 'src'.

Changed the filename that is used when data files are downloaded and when XML files are downloaded in XML format. Now, data files use the format "docid-docname". See bug #2566.
