Thanks, I can see where the full path of the activation function could be useful, but if I pull it in like that it will break compatibility with C# and also existing EG files. I will look at a way to add the full path for activation functions outside of the standard Encog activation functions. I can't take it exactly as you have it because that would break the ability for Java/C# based EG files to be interchangeable.

Makes sense. I'm not a C# guy, but I would think you could change the
format for that to have a 'name' column, 'Java class name' column, a 'C#
name' column, and then the parameter values.

Finally merged this. Thankyou for the change. I made a few small changes to keep C# compatibility between files.
