That might be a good reason not to use prefixes in app-specific keys. Not sure, just thinking out loud.

The reason I ask is that I'm wondering if we should just flatten the "JavaVM"/"JVMInfo"/"whatever" dictionary and use prefixes on the nested keys:

JVMRuntime
JVMMainClassName
JVMOptions
JVMArguments

Seems more consistent with Apple's current convention. I was thinking that it would be nice if there was a way to present these using localized, human-readable names in the editor. But it doesn't sound like there is - oh well.

What do you think?
