That may be true but, in the form of a properties you can't validate it,
and making tools to help with configuration is a severe PITA. People can
use them but I would strongly encourage the use of XML configuration
files because errors can be spotted immediately and if people are making
new configuration files then they can be assured they are being made
correctly. We have partial config info in XML and in properties and I
think we should settle on one format and I definitely don't think it
should be properties files.
