By havocp:

It would be nice if the parser in the Config lib were useful for durations here (see Config.getMilliseconds) but unfortunately it doesn't have the adjustable default time unit feature. To support that I guess we'd need some kind of Config.getDuration that would return a number along with either a TimeUnit or null, and you'd have to write a method that used that and plugged in the default time unit if none were specified in the file, or something. But it would be easy to accidentally use getMilliseconds() which would not use the default time unit. I don't know. I guess another approach would be to have Config.withDefaultTimeUnit(); it would add an extra word of storage to every config object but may not be a big deal. Let me know if you would use any feature along these lines or if I should leave it as-is.
