I agree that this can be problematic but weighting the probability that this had been adopted by anyone other than Ken against the added complexity of having two different load orders I exceptionally opted for the former one. > >> Though that feature was introduced by Ken himself and not documented >> anywhere.

(Feel free to reply tomorrow in your time zone!) It's to define some special property files to override the ones you are normally using within your frameworks/applications. But before that patch this didn't work as those were loaded _before_ the "standard" property files and thus getting overwritten instead of the other way around. > The bottom line is this: if I'm _not_ using any of these new Properties > files, has the load order (of all the pre-existing Properties files) changed?
