Neo4j ServerPlugin Configuration - neo4j

Question

I'm building a Neo4J Server plugin. I'd like to have some configuration values that I can manually set in neo4j.properties or neo4j-server.properties and then the plugin can read and utilize these value. How can I access config values from a ServerPlugin?
Clarification:
I'd really like something that will work across future releases of Neo4J, so something that is part of the public API and is not deprecated would be best.

Using Neo4j's internal dependency mechanism, you can access a instance of Config (https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j/blob/master/community/kernel/src/main/java/org/neo4j/kernel/configuration/Config.java). This class gives you access to the configuration.
Take the following untested snippet as a guideline:
...
import org.neo4j.kernel.configuration.Config
...
#Description( "An extension to the Neo4j Server accessing config" )
public class ConfigAwarePlugin extends ServerPlugin
{
#Name( "config" )
#Description( "Do stuff with config" )
#PluginTarget( GraphDatabaseService.class )
public void sample( #Source GraphDatabaseService graphDb ) {
Config config = ((GraphDatabaseAPI)graphDb).getDependencyResolver().resolveDependency(Config.class);
// do stuff with config
}
}

I use Properties:
Properties props = new Properties();
try
{
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("./conf/neo4j.properties");
props.load(in);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
try
{
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("./neo4j.properties");
props.load(in);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e2)
{
logger.warn(e2.getMessage());
}
catch (IOException e2)
{
logger.warn(e2.getMessage());
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
logger.warn(e.getMessage());
}
String myPropertyString = props.getProperty("myProperty");
if (myPropertyString != null)
{
myProperty = Integer.parseInt(myPropertyString);
}
else
{
myProperty = 100;
}
and in neo4j.properties I have:
...
# Enable shell server so that remote clients can connect via Neo4j shell.
#remote_shell_enabled=true
# Specify custom shell port (default is 1337).
#remote_shell_port=1234
myProperty=100
