Comment 2 for bug 459701

@Tomas

I do not agree. I came from grails too. Yes plugin system or better say versioning system can become tricky but I really think that module settings as it is now in application.conf is great.
It is very simple and one can set path relatively to modules directory where we put (by our convention) all our modules.
If you say - all modules have to be in application's dir - you break modularization approach.
Yes you can put your modules into application's dir if you want ... but do not force others to do it too.
Modules versioning (if one needs it) can be achieved for example through CVS, SVN, ... tagging so I do not see any troubles here too.
