Thanks for the help. I changed the settings accordingly, but it didn't have
any effect.
My best guess now is that after the registration is first read, no changes
to the file will be picked up. I tested this as follows:
* Change change imsti.pagetitle to "SomeOtherName" in IMSBLTIPortlet.xml
* Restart Sakai
* Add the tool to a new site
result: The page title used is the old one, from before I changed
IMSBLTIPortlet.xml.
Then I changed the tool ID instead. After restarting Sakai, I added the
tool and this time the changed values were in effect.
Then I changed the tool ID back to the original one yet again
("sakai.piazza"). I restarted Sakai and added this tool to another site,
and again the values it used were from the very first time that the tool
had been read from IMSBLTIPortlet.xml.
