[Util] easy configuration!

Hi recently I have create a util that allows you to easily load and save your config to a class

How it works:
The util will read all the fields in a class provided and fill them with config values (defaults to value if path isn't found in config)

Example:

Code:java

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin
{
    public void onEnable()
    {
        ConfigUtil.saveDefaultConfig(new File(getDataFolder(),"config.yml"));
        ConfigUtil.load(MyConfig.class, getConfig())
        getLogger().info(MyConfig.testBoolean); //prints out config value for testBoolean or defaults to true
    }
    public void onDisable()
    {
        ConfigUtil.save(MyConfig.class, getConfig())
        saveConfig()
    }
}
public class MyConfig
{
    //must have default value
    //must be static
    public static boolean testBoolean = true;
    public static int testInt = 0;
    public static MemorySection = new YamlConfiguration()
}

Util Class:

Code:java

//can also be found at [url]http://pastebin.com/2m4B7La0[/url]
public class ConfigUtil {
    public static void load(Class<?> configClass, ConfigurationSection config)
    {
        for(Field f : configClass.getDeclaredFields())
        {
            try {
                f.set(null, config.get(f.getName(),f.get(null)));
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                continue;
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                continue;
            }
        }
    }
    public static void save(Class<?> configClass, ConfigurationSection config)
    {
        for(Field f : configClass.getDeclaredFields())
        {
            try {
                config.set(f.getName(), f.get(null));
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                continue;
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                continue;
            }
        }
    }
    public static void saveDefaultConfig(Class<?> configClass, File file)
    {
        if(file.exists())
            return;
        FileConfiguration config = new YamlConfiguration();
        load(configClass,config);
        try {
            config.save(file);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

 

So, you made a util that adds backups for config values?

Uh, can you at least explain how to use it? I just see a bunch of complicated code and have no idea where to start ..
