..properties is hard, as there are effectively two incompatible parsers
used by our architectures.
There's is one class that tries to reverse engineer what
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpcom/ds/nsPersistentProperties.cpp#146
does, which is what's behind gecko's stringbundle API. Silme probably,
but also compare-locales.
Then there's the stuff that gaia does, which resembles properties only
on the surface, to be honest. We just recently learned that ':' is a
key-value separator in gecko, but totally part of the key (and used as
such) in gaia.
All very much sad faces. Yay l20n to get rid of the gaia variant.
The INI usage in gecko is pretty ad-hoc, only supports one category etc.
The compare-locales parsers are at

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a replacement for MozillaTranslator.
Nothing disruptive in the frontend, since it keeps being a Java
Desktop tool. The changes are in the persistence (a Java SQL
database, Derby, managed with JPA), the internal datamodel, which I
expect to allow L20n in the future, and more extensive and standard
help features for users (a glossary manager and a better translation
memory).
I have tight constraints as this is my final year project (I'm 20
years delayed) and I have to reach a close-to MozillaTranslator
feature pairing by the end of August. I'm already using SAX to parse
DTDs in a very similar way than MozillaTranslator does, and I might
be forced to copy the parser for Properties files (which I also use
for INI files), but I wonder if Mozilla has some parser code for
Properties and INI files that I could browse to write a Java
version. BNF grammar files could work, too, as I could give it a try
to some parser generators like ANTLR.
TIA
