Deep down inside org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources, Struts
is using the load() method from the java.util.Properties class to load the
message resources files. Therefore, the files should correspond to the
same syntax as any other use of Properties.load() in your applications.
Note that, according to the JDK 1.3 Javadocs, a backslash is the
appropriate escape character for properties files, so a single quote would
be represented as "\'".
