support XML format for properties
---------------------------------
Key: WICKET-477
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-477
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wicket
Reporter: Eelco Hillenius
Assigned To: Eelco Hillenius
Fix For: 1.3
Since Java 5 it is possible to load properties from XML files. The great thing
about that is that properties can be defined in different encodings, such as
UTF-8. For anyone working with non-ASCII character sets (almost everyone in the
world except Americans) this is a great improvement which allows them to write
messages directly instead of using escaped code.
We supported xml properties files in Wicket 2.0, but did not in Wicket 1.3 as
this is a Java 5 feature. However, the back port is pretty easy to do, and as
it's such an advantage to have, we should implement it for 1.3.
