Patrick Schmidt commented on CONFIGURATION-715: ----------------------------------------------- I just created a [pull request|https://github.com/apache/commons-configuration/pull/13] that also covers CONFIGURATION-716, plus a bit more related to compatibility with java.util.Properties. Let me know what you think. > PropertiesConfiguration should not trim whitespace from the property value > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-715 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-715 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Reporter: Patrick Schmidt > Priority: Major > > Currently, PropertiesConfiguration will trim all trailing whitespace from > property values. This is different from how java.util.Properties behaves. The > Javadoc explicitly states > {code:java} > All remaining characters on the line become part of the associated element > string{code} > The responsible code is in the method _readProperty()_ of _PropertiesReader_. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
