In this case it is not necessary to emit the backslashes. It is just simpler to escape all occurrences of certain characters, rather than determining in each case whether it might be interpreted as a metacharacter in input. Other implementations such as http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/raw-file/ccc42f413d4c/openide.util/src/org/openide/util/EditableProperties.java may choose to be more sparing with escape characters so as to maximize human readability, so long as Properties.load still recognizes the result. At any rate, any tool dealing with *.properties files must follow the standard syntax. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
