Currently, field name is used as key when @configuration annotation has no value. A benefit of this is that the key is clearly visible everywhere the field is accessed. It cannot work, however, if the key consists of periods, like my.example.property=X Which is why I propose support for using field value as key expression. In most (?) IDEs, the key expression can then be viewed with Ctrl+mouseover or similar. This also means less duplication of key expressions. There are some disadvantages, like only working for String, which is why I won't be too sad if this feature request is not accepted :-)
