Hi,i have property values spanning multiple lines like value = aaa, \ bbb When I load this into a PropertiesConfiguration and later store to a file I can only achieve two results, * having everything on one line like value = aaa,bbb * or a mulitvalue property like value = aaa value = bbb Is there a possiblity to tweak the PropertiesConfiguration so that it preserves the original layout over a load/store cycle?
unfortunately, there is no such possibility currently. When the properties file is read the backslash as line combiner is processed, and the value is stored without any information about a line break.
I fear that implementing such a feature would not be trivial. You would probably have to invent a format which tells the configuration that a property should span multiple lines, but the line break character must not be mixed up with regular content of the property value.
If you have concrete ideas how to solve this, you might want to open a feature request in our bug tracking system [1].
