Description

after documentation, vss-settings.xml file content is

<vss-settings>
  <Settings>
    <vssDirectory>ss_exe_directory</vssDirectory>
  </Settings>
</vss-settings>

but actual vss-settings.mdo does not define "Settings" field.

Reading such a file works only because of a bug in Modello parsing: MODELLO-152, which has been fixed in Modello 1.0.

There are 2 options for us: either change the documentation (and tell the users) to support following model (which was the initial intend IMHO):

<vss-settings>
  <vssDirectory>ss_exe_directory</vssDirectory>
</vss-settings>

or tweak the model and update the code to create an intermediate class for this Settings element (only useful to avoid changing the XML format)
