Support for Properties Inheritance

[nagkumar]

It would be nice to support property file inheritance through some special key.. this way even the properties file decencies are decided at properties file level and not in code. e.g

a.properties b.properties can have special key needs=a etc..

[nagkumar]

apart from special key name, we could also use resource or file name conventions approach where in a.properties and a1.properties a1 depends on a.properties etc by conventions..

I think you can get what you need just by placing multiple source files in correct order. Take a look at Loading Strategies.

If you need more granular control then you can use Properties Import.

I see no need in implementing some inheritance because the 2 features above cover all of that.
