[Java] Loading properties

[mlind]

Is there a way to load contents of .properties file so, that order of the entries which
they appear in the file could be preserved? Properties is a instance of Hashtable and
Maps doen't preserve order like Lists do..

I'd like to accomplish this without
* modifying existing .properties file
* extending Properties and overriding put() or other logic methods

Are there any corresponding Apache module that would load properties into List instead?

Thanks.

I think this will do what you are describing:

Yes, thanks. Althought I decided to evetually drop the idea, it was too error prone
for changes.
