/**
* A set of persistent properties, which can be saved or loaded from a stream.
* A property list may also contain defaults, searched if the main list
* does not contain a property for a given key.
*
* An example of a properties file for the german language is given
* here. This extends the example given in ListResourceBundle.
* Create a file MyResource_de.properties with the following contents
* and put it in the CLASSPATH. (The character
* \
u00e4
is the german umlaut)
*
*
s1=3 s2=MeineDisk s3=3. M\* *u00e4rz 96 s4=Die Diskette ''{1}'' enth\
u00e4lt {0} in {2}. s5=0 s6=keine Dateien s7=1 s8=eine Datei s9=2 s10={0,number} Dateien s11=Das Formatieren schlug fehl mit folgender Exception: {0} s12=FEHLER s13=Ergebnis s14=Dialog s15=Auswahlkriterium s16=1,3
Although this is a sub class of a hash table, you should never
* insert anything other than strings to this property, or several
* methods, that need string keys and values, will fail. To ensure
* this, you should use the get/setProperty
method instead
* of get/put
.
*
* Properties are saved in ISO 8859-1 encoding, using Unicode escapes with
* a single u
for any character which cannot be represented.
