The approach I take for properties files is to use a PropertyResourceBundle to
load them. This class finds the properties file in the class path, so you don't
have to worry about specifying where the file exists. Examples of using this
class can be found in the Internationalization section of the JDK 1.1 or JDK 1.2
documentation bundle. It is quite useful even if you do not need the
multi-language support that is also supported.
