ini vs properties

[utoddl]

Could you comment a bit about the differences between ini.jsf and properties.jsf? From what I've read, "properties files" are mostly a rebranding of "ini files". I'm considering some changes to ini.jsf, particularly in how it deals with errors. (it seems to handle correct .ini files just fine.) Before I start working on it, I'd like to make sure I understand the contexts of these two .jsf files, as they seem to cover largely the same problem space. Thanks.

Yes, these syntaxes are mostly the same given that they deal with key-value files but have some differences like sections (ini), details about characters used as separators or to start a comment and the explicit check for unicode escape codes (properties). I think both of them handle their respective (simple) syntaxes fine since I do not know any breaking cases. Also the error handling is on the same level (but could be further improved, as always).

I just dropped pull request #29 in the hopper to provide better error handling in .ini files.
