Hi Lars, Yes, I see your point, and maybe even YAML is too much. Having two leading spaces could be too much to task.
Anyway, I thought I would at least suggest it, but if a plain old properties file works, then lets not over-engineer it for the moment. I can just possibly envision a situation where you would like to specify a lot more in the properties file than just the database connection. But that is not the immediate concern of course.
