Hi Oliver,
thats what I tried before but it doesn't work neither. Another strange thing,
if I use "config.clear()" to clear the whole properties file, everything
except(!) the last thing I read is deleted...
This looks to me like some internal bug. Or do you have another idea?
Bye
Christian

You only need to pass in the key of the property you want to delete to
clearProperty(), so the line in question should run:
config.clearProperty("group1.entry2");
